ARCrsquoTERYX AND PRODUCT DURABILITYLifecycle thinking guides our approach to designing the worldrsquos most durable outdoor gear Arcrsquoteryx strives to make the worldrsquos best performing longest lasting outdoor gear Durability is the cornerstone of our design philosophy Lifecycle thinking guides our approach to product durability We look at our operations as a system spanning the creation of the materials we source the production processes used in manufacturing the distribution steps in our supply chain stores and retail operations product use and care and end-of-life We seek to influence this cycle to reduce energy resource and material consumption while enhancing product quality Extending the useful life of the product effectively diminishes the impacts associated with production by spreading them over more years External Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies support this conclusion finding that product and transportation of a representative garment comprise approximately 65 of the environmental impact over the garmentrsquos useable life and that extending garment lifetime had a greater effect than seeking to reduce the impacts associated with the production sub-processes

Amer Sports has several carbon reduction initiatives and as a result of these efforts Amer Sportsrsquo carbon intensity has fallen every year since 2009 In practice this means that the operations have become more efficient

There are several ongoing actions and initiatives to reduce for instance energy travel and waste varying from day-to-day office practices to examples from manufacturing facilities The most common improvements in the office practices include recycling of waste reduction of the actual numbers of printers by using shared printers as well as printed papers including targets to achieve a paperless office as well as adopting lightning sensors and increased use of meeting services provided by Microsoft Lync used for the most of the teleconferences reducing necessity to travel As an example of actions for energy savings Wilsonrsquos Ohio manufacturing facility has installed new windows and siding

NEW HEATING SYSTEM ASSEMBLED IN BULGARIAIn the end of 2013 the Amer Sports Winter Sports Equipment facility in Bulgaria Chepelare replaced its old heating system burning oil and replaced it with a new heating system using natural gas As a result the annual energy consumption will fall by 30 with total of 1640 MW and at the same time carbon emissions will be reduced by approximately 190 tonnes

TRAVEL POLICYAmer Sportsrsquo Travel Policy applies to all employee levels in all business areas and entities The key elements of the global travel policy are to estimate the necessity of travel and consider alternative communication methods

MINIMIZING WASTEReducing waste is relevant for Amer Sportsrsquo business in order to achieve cost savings while reducing environmental impact This is supported by all of the lean activities in its operations as Amer Sports has a Lean program in place in every factory and distribution center Amer Sports and its brand companies have several initiatives to reduce waste

One of the objectives of the Precorrsquos Environmental management system is to achieve zero landfill status by 2017 As a part of this Precor has initiatives to reuse raw materials such as selling excess pieces of metal for recycling

The Amer Sports Winter Sports Equipment facility in Altenmarkt was awarded for its exemplary waste management by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture Forestry Environment and Water Management and the Austrian Water and Waste Management Association The award is given to companies that are particularly innovative in the area of environmental protection and ecology The criteria included material recycling of production waste in the ski industry and the Altenmarkt facility is able to shred 48 of the total waste for material recycling in chemical industry Amer Sports tracks the progress on the environmental area by the annual group-wide assessment and gathers feedback on all the initiatives concerning environment Waste generated in the operations has been reduced by 11 since 2012

In 2014 Wilsonrsquos Ohio manufacturing facility started to recycle its leather shavings and ship them to a recycling company for further use This saved 31500 lbs of leather that would have ended up in a landfill

Precor upgraded its powder coating application equipment and was able to reduce spray-to-waste volumes in 2014 Through training and increased recyling awareness Precor has improved its diversion rate (total diverted tonnagetotal tonnage) by 6 percentage points from 2013 to 2014

Precor evaluates its product packaging as an ongoing activity For instance in 2014 Precor implemented returnable packaging with two of the plastic suppliers and components on its commercial treadmills and uses returnable pallets for specific stamped sheet metal components Also there are returning plastic bags and cardboard to plastics vendors to reuse on plastic parts used on commercial bikes
