Corporate responsibility

Corporate responsibility is one big journey full of peaks and curves where we always want to make the best and fairest choices for people and the environment. Our goal? Always striving for improvement, impact, and innovation. We know our responsibility and we take it as best we can, every step of the way. Not empty words, but a real commitment.

Claudia Verswyver crowned Sustainability Professional 2025

Out of over 250 candidates, our Sustainability Lead, Claudia Verswyver, was awarded the title of Sustainability Professional of the Year 2025! A fantastic recognition – not only for Claudia, but for our entire team at A.S.Adventure and Juttu. Together, we continue to take both small and big steps towards a more sustainable future.

Our approach?

We at A.S.Adventure take a thorough approach. We look at every link in our business to see what improvements can be made. And that’s what we actively pursue: from building a more environmentally conscious product range and repairing your gear to our specific CO2 reductions, River Cleanups, and international support for people in vulnerable situations.

There are a lot of actions we take, always within a bigger picture. These are the six areas under which all our sustainability projects and responsible efforts fall:


More eco-conscious products

“The longer it lives, the less it impacts.”

That’s why you’ll find quality clothing and gear at A.S.Adventure - it's built to last. And we're happy to guide you through the features that make our products a more responsible choice.

Want to make a well informed choice when buying something new? Then be sure to look at a product’s sustainability labels, such as ‘Fair Trade’ or ‘PFC-free’. They tell you more about the impact on people and the planet. Online, the certificates are listed next to each product. In the store, our staff will be happy to explain them to you. That way, you can always make a conscious choice at A.S.Adventure.

By extending the lifespan of clothing and equipment, we prevent goods from ending up in landfills (far too early). That’s the circular economy in a nutshell. So, the idea behind Care & Repair is simple: we offer professional services (such as repairs, maintenance, and our laundry service), as well as DIY tips that you can use yourself to keep your things in tiptop shape for longer.
Discover Care & Repair
The right gear makes or breaks any adventure. But it’s also a shame (and waste) to buy a whole set of equipment that will only go unused and take up (a lot of) space during the rest of the year. That’s why A.S.Adventure invests in the sharing economy: we maintain and rent out a lot of equipment, so that it is used effectively and does not lie around gathering dust. Better for the environment and for your wallet.
Rent your equipment
Did you know that, on average, people in Belgium only wear a piece of clothing seven times before they throw it away? What a waste - especially because those clothes are often still in great condition! That’s why at A.S.Adventure, we give high-quality clothing for kids a second (or even third) life. And if you bring something in, you'll receive a voucher in return. It's our way of taking a stand against the throwaway culture.

Protecting nature

Nature is the place where we, as human beings, can mentally unwind and physically indulge ourselves. It is the green lungs as well as the blue veins of our planet. But unfortunately, our way of life puts a lot of pressure on nature. That is why A.S.Adventure is actively committed to a number of outdoors partners. Not just to be trendy or since the Covid era, but from the very beginning. Because we believe that future generations should be able to enjoy the same relaxation and adventures as we do.

Supporting people

We support underprivileged families and teenagers with our own brand, Ayacucho. One percent of every product sold goes directly to support Solid and TADA. This is how we create impact both internationally and locally.

Since 2009, we have been a proud partner of Solid, a Belgian organisation working on sustainable community development in Peru, India, and Kenya. In concrete terms, they set up weaving and knitting workshops in underprivileged areas, for example, where workers are paid a fair wage. They then reinvest the proceeds in a social safety net for the local community.

Reducing and upcycling waste

We also take responsibility when it comes to waste. On the one hand, we make an effort to create less waste; on the other, we reintegrate it wherever possible. This includes things like donations, recycling, and upcycling. Something we are increasingly working on!

Sorting even better and optimising our waste flows: We have already significantly reduced residual waste in 2023 and 2024, while increasing our share of recycled waste.  We have also optimised our web packaging so that it transports less air, and we no longer send a return label as standard: less waste of paper! Wondering how we reduce plastic?
Here’s how we tackle plastic
Not everything that has to go is ‘waste’. Our leftover stock goes to homeless people and food banks via non-profit organisation Kamiano, for example: nothing valuable goes to waste! Donated items from our textile boxes also get a new life: they are repaired and given a second chance through De Kringwinkel, or they are upcycled, like the old tents we turn into fitting room curtains. And if there is really nothing left to do with it, the items are recycled into new raw materials.
Here’s what you can donate

We’re in it together

Corporate responsibility is one of A.S.Adventure’s absolute focal points, and we are not alone in that. Our company is part of the Yonderland Group, Europe’s largest outdoor retailer, which means we are also part of their ambitious sustainability plan.

Towards a carbon-neutral enterprise

Renewable energy contracts, new LED lighting, more electric commercial vehicles, and optimised heating, air-conditioning, and logistics processes. Thanks to those interventions, we are already CO2 neutral today in terms of our direct emissions, and we offset the rest. Our goal is to be completely climate-neutral as a company by 2030. We are already well on our way towards ‘net zero’!

Critical questions? We are happy to answer them!

Questions are free. Do you wonder what we are doing to make our (web) packaging more sustainable, whether we can guarantee that the products we sell were made in correct working conditions, or what we are doing to limit the impact of microplastics? We collected the most frequently asked questions on various topics around the theme of 'sustainability' (in the broad sense of the word) and tell you our honest answers.
