At A.S.Adventure, we love nature. That's why we go the extra mile to help preserve it in all its (bio)diversity. To create real impact, we team up with others.
“We believe in our contribution and act on it. ”
Partners of A.S.Adventure
Together with our outdoor partners, we are working towards more nature and wilder places. Not just in Belgium, but across Europe and around the world. Our financial support goes directly to projects that protect and care for our planet.
National
Natuurpunt: nature for everyone in Flanders
Some highlights:
• A.S.Adventure has been a proud partner of Natuurpunt since its founding in 2001 – together, we've helped create an additional 798 hectares of nature reserves in Flanders and planted 130 hectares of forest.
• We co-developed 11 A.S.Adventure walking routes, complete with signposts, benches, information boards, and beehives.
• Every Natuurpunt member enjoys a 7% discount on a large part of our range: a lovely bonus for all green-minded adventurers.
Natagora: wild spaces in Wallonia and Brussels
We’ve accomplished this together:
• In 2022, our partnership reached new heights: A.S.Adventure donated 5% of Black Friday revenue to support Belgium's highest-altitude nature reserves in Belgium (such as the region around Signal de Botrange).
• We support the Nature Network, an eco-social project that gives companies, citizens, and organisations the tools to boost biodiversity on the land they manage.
• We contributed to the restoration of the Wimbe Valley, helping to strengthen local biodiversity. Species like bats, the yellow warbler, and a rare butterfly (the Mazarine Blue) will be given additional shelter and protection.
European
River Cleanup: plastic-free rivers and oceans
Every year, 11 billion kilograms of plastic end up in the ocean - a staggering amount that's hard to even imagine. A large part of this pollution ends up in the oceans via our rivers. That's why River Cleanup works to intercept as much plastic as possible before it reaches the ocean. Because once that happens, it spreads out even further and is much harder to remove.
Here’s how we help:
• Since 2022, River Cleanup can rely on our financial support.
• We also organise Cleanups ourselves with our employees and anyone else who wants to pitch in.
• Our record currently stands at 200 kg of plastic collected in one day in the Hoboken Polder and along the banks of the Scheldt.
Worldwide
Cool Earth: more rainforest, less CO2
Deforestation is one of the greatest threats to our climate. That's why Cool Earth works side by side with indigenous communities who call the rainforest their home. By supporting them, they can protect their land and stand stronger against illegal logging. Together, we protect millions of trees that are vital for biodiversity and store enormous amounts of CO2. Every tree left standing helps cool our planet.
The numbers speak for themselves:
• In 2017, we installed 197 water taps in rainforest villages.
• Thanks to cocoa farming, 180 families got a better or more stable income and 82 families improved their income thanks to coffee cultivation.
• We support six communities in the Peruvian Amazon, protecting more than 70,000 hectares of rainforest. It’s an area that accounts for 29,545,585 trees and more than 26 million tons of stored carbon!
