Suston

We believe that the outdoor sector can greatly improve by sharing important sustainability topics like material sourcing, chemical use, recycling practices, labor rights, and more with key influencers—those who work in the industry, retailers, and outdoor enthusiasts who are early adopters. In 2017, we introduced Suston – Sustainable Outdoor News, which features a printed B2B magazine and an online editorial platform focused on sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the outdoor community. Suston aims to educate and motivate, while also being unafraid to point out areas needing improvement. Transparency and honesty are always at the core of our sustainability mission.
