ORTOVOX – VOICE OF THE MOUNTAINS
ORTOVOX stands for the greatest possible mountain safety – since 1980 we have been protecting climbers, mountaineers and the mountains themselves. Founded with the invention of the “F2”, the first ever double-frequency avalanche transceiver, the South German company produces emergency equipment, backpacks and functional apparel for discerning mountain athletes.
To this day, innovative equipment and the comprehensive training measures offered as part of the ORTOVOX SAFETY ACADEMY, with its practical courses and digital training tools, all contribute to saving lives by making mountain sports that much safer.
Protection and a pioneering spirit characterize the functional wool clothing that ORTOVOX has been producing since 1988. Today, ORTOVOX provides a comfort system for each season. This natural material is used sustainably in every layer to suit the product’s specific requirements. ORTOVOX’s merino wool comes from Tasmania where ideal living conditions of the merino sheep form the basis for the especially high quality of the fine wool fibers. Since 2011, robust wool collected from local farmers across numerous Swiss valleys is used in insulated products.
Sustainable thinking shapes every area of ORTOVOX. "Protecting what we love" is the motto of our protACT2024 sustainability strategy. It defines the six areas of the ORTOVOX sustainability objectives, including complete climate neutrality by 2024. Since 2017, ORTOVOX has been making its mark in the industry with its own wool standard, the ORTOVOX WOOL PROMISE (OWP), for the protection of its wool suppliers, sheep and the environment. The OWP guarantees the protection of the sheep by banning mulesing, focusing upon sustainable agriculture, addressing the significance of friendly relationships with farmers, and ensuring complete transparency of the development process of the products.
In addition, ORTOVOX is also committed to the protection of people: ORTOVOX does more than pay lip service to dealing fairly with employees, customers and business partners. ORTOVOX has been a member of Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) and the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles initiative since 2015. In 2018, the FWF awarded ORTOVOX with Leader status, recognizing the company’s commitment to fair working conditions. ORTOVOX has retained this status, which is reviewed annually, ever since.
From the Bavarian Alps to high mountain terrain, from ski and freeriding tours to alpine climbing routes – ORTOVOX sees itself as the voice of the mountains and embraces mountain sports and the responsible enjoyment of nature.
