Who we are
Founded in 2006, the EOG Association for Conservation is an initiative from the European outdoor industry with the objective of protecting wild areas that we care so passionately about. The outdoor industry recognises that preserving and protecting the natural environment is a core necessity and raises funds from within the industry to support direct projects. This group, which will be independent from the main EOG, is designed to harness the incredible power of our industry and to raise money to donate to grass roots conservation groups.
The EOG Association for Conservation will raise money from subscriptions, donations and via the EOG's interest in the OutDoor show and has the objective of raising EUR€150,000 within the first year. 100% of all revenue from member's subscriptions will be awarded to conservation projects.
The Association aims to fund projects that protect threatened wild areas for their habitat and recreational value. The projects must focus on specific issues and root causes, involving direct citizen action, that eventually build public involvement, consensus and support.
Headquartered in Switzerland, the Association is managed by a Board of Directors drawn from outdoor industry brands.
