Sustainability

We don't safe the world - but it's a start: Our Sustainability Pledge

PERFORMANCE DAYS believes that particularly the sportswear industry plays an important role in preserving the planet and protecting the outdoors which we design our products for.

For us this role consists in the following main actions: Supporting development of sustainable materials, setting sustainability standards, educating the entire supply chain and providing a more sustainable event for the industry.

Together, we can make change happen!
