VAUDE has been synonymous for top mountaineering competence, innovative, top-quality products, and in particular for their fair price-performance average for more than 30 years; the company is committed to keeping their carbon footprint as small as possible in their production processes, and stresses its ecological and social commitment. The success of this family-run business is based on the success of its employees: That is why VAUDE follows a family-friendly policy, promotes flat hierarchies, and allows the experiences of their own mountain sports-fanatic staff to influence their daily work and ongoing development.
