Journey towards sustainability
At A1 Sport, our professional goals need to be aligned with our personal values and beliefs. Even as a privately-owned, for-profit business organization, we want to be respectful of our planet. Therefore, every new business step that we take, needs to be one that will have the lesser impact on the environment.
As our business continues to expand, we will always select to work with retailers, brands & factory partners that share the same values & that will support us in achieving our goals.
Some examples of that can be found in various aspects of our business:
For one, Life Sports Gear, an A1 Sport owned brand, was the first brand in the world to bring to market a running accessories collection made of 100% recycled polyester & nylon which ultimately resulted in an 87% recycled finished product. The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) that we have obtained, is a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials in a final product. The standard applies to the full supply chain and addresses traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content, and labeling.
