| Sustainability is more than short transport ways, conservation of
resources and recycling. It also defines the sustainability of our products
and the reliable service by us, the manufacturer.
ORTLIEB products are said to be indestructible and extremely long life. Should there still be damage or wear of a component, ORTLIEB products can be easily repaired due to the design of the article. Defective parts can easily be exchanged, holes can be repaired, buckles exchanged and straps renewed. These jobs are performed by our own customer service where ORTLIEB products are completely refitted for intensive heavy duty use. Older products can be updated onsite to the current state of the art. Further, we offer repair sets that allow our customers to make repairs on the road. For discontinued products we offer spare parts for another 10 years. And at last: with 5 years warranty we ensure our customers that defective manufacturing or materials are corrected by us free of charge. All of this ensures that our products remain in service far beyond what is typical and certainly avoid the fate of most common outdoor products. |

| What is the European Outdoor Conservation Association? | |
 |
Founded in 2006, the European Outdoor Conservation Association 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 European Outdoor Conservation Association will raise money from subscriptions, donations and via the EOG´s interest in the OutDoor show and has the objective of raising € 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. Here you will find an overview of the currently supported projects. |
