THE PEAK APPROACH Sustainability at core
of business.
Over the years, approaching different client needs, we have developed a set of products and services that can help you on your journey towards a sustainable business within the planetary boundaries. A few highlights are presented below – you are welcome to reach out for more information or to discuss your specific challenges.
Strategy & Compliance
We guide sports and outdoor brands in developing impactful Sustainability Strategies where compliance is just the baseline.
Your sustainability ambitions start at the legal requirements and can reach as far as your corporate strategy goals dare to aim. To ensure compliance while formulating a well-founded sustainability strategy is becoming a business imperative. We help organizations and outdoor companies getting started in sustainability or to map the relevant next steps when you are stuck.
Our hands-on process clarifies your sustainability agenda and establishes a solid starting point for further work. You will strengthen your collective knowledge, establish a common ground for efficient sustainability work and start identifying the most important actions based on your current position.
Sustainability baseline
With access to our sustainability status check tool, you will answer a set of questions that are based on established industry sustainability standards. With this input we will:
Define your sustainability baseline
Add a risk and opportunity analysis based on upcoming regulations, current industry status and stakeholder expectations on a sustainable aware sports/outdoor company
Suggest appropriate actions, timeline & prioritizations
The resulting knowledge and data provides a starting point and agenda for further climate and sustainability work, which easily can be transformed to an action plan for the next couple of years, with allocation of inhouse or external resources.
Going further – building a sustainability strategy
The Baseline Assessment is also a solid foundation for a potential continued sustainability strategy process

As society and industry, we have hard targets to meet when it comes to greenhouse gas emission reductions. Peak 63 has engaged in this topic in several ways over the years and we are working relentlessly with our industry networks to promote and incentivize climate action. We coordinate textile industry working groups for climate action in the STICA initiative, have launched the first industry climate commitment in Europe with SOG and are the architects behind the WSN Climate Pact that aligns the majority of global winter sports industry to the Paris agreement. We have also built the SLAO climate reporting system that all Swedish ski resorts are using to aggregate data for their joint climate transition plan.
Understanding your carbon footprint through climate calculations is the base for reducing your emissions. From there, you can set targets and strategies and engage in effective climate action that both drives business and contributes to the Global Goals.
Increased expectations from consumers, retailers, investors and governments: You need to demonstrate climate responsibility and compliance with sustainability standards.
Enable strategic decision-making: With insights from climate calculations, you can set meaningful reduction targets and implement effective sustainability initiatives.
A clear climate strategy: Position your organization to adapt to emerging challenges, ensuring long-term resilience.
We can support you in making your climate commitment, setting targets and strategy, calculating your emissions and planning/coordinating concrete climate action.
Sustainable Snow Management
Snow is a valuable resource with an increasing price. Therefore working as efficient as possible will not only save cost, it will be necessary in order to reduce the climate impact from snow management. We can help you to better understand how you can become more efficient in your work with snow as a valuable resource, based on the specific conditions of your area.
Peak tools
The need for low-entry tools that support our sustainability work increases with legislation pressure and the need for SMEs and industry organizations to find resource-efficient ways of building knowledge, planning for and working with sustainability. At Peak 63, we focus on ease of use, affordability and concrete problem solving when creating digital tools.
EDUCATION & ACADEMIA SUPPORTPeak 63 supports the industry with tailored education packages, for lecture rooms or online training, that can range from broad general understanding to specific, targeted subjects for specialists. We also offer single lectures and workshops for individual companies to address their sustainability challenges, and for academy, adding a practitioner’s perspective on sustainability and industrial reality connection to their curriculum.
Knowledge building is a key for sustainable development.
