Nemo Equipment, the award-winning, New England-based outdoor gear brand, has released its 2024 Sustainability Report to summarize the brand’s efforts and progress in building a business that protects our planet and the places where we recreate. Cutting emissions, increasing the use of sustainable materials and manufacturing processes, bolstering repair services, expanding the Endless Promise® fully recyclable product line, and supporting organizations working towards protecting public lands were all part of Nemo’s 2024 progress.
“For over 20 years, Nemo’s mission has been to enhance outdoor adventures through inspired design ⏤ and to build our business the same way we’d approach any major adventure: with an ambitious vision, a diverse team, and a deep respect for the journey itself,” said Nemo founder and CEO, Cam Brensinger. “In a time when it’s perhaps more needed than ever, we continue to advocate for public lands and the stewards that care for them. And while it’s a no-brainer to invest in innovations that elevate performance, we continue to push for ones that also reduce environmental impact. The more we make, the more responsibility we take. “
