OUR COMMITMENTS
In Quechua, we are aware of current environmental issues and of the impact on our playground. And we believe we all have a role to play. Every action counts. It is our responsibility to act, quickly, with and for you.
On the way to 2026
- 2010 The Forclaz 50 : our first fleece made from recycled polyester, more than 90% of our fleeces now use it at Quechua.
- 2019 Launch of our Forclaz / Quechua camping equipment rental service.
- 2020 Our first tent with more than 50% of its weight is made with biton material and (one dyed yarn out of every two) and greige (no dye).
- 2021 159 Quechua products comply with at least one of our eco-design approaches.
- 2026 Objective: 100% of our products respect at least one of our eco-design approaches.
WE CARE ABOUT OUR IMPACT
Together, our objective is to provide an 100% eco-designed product range by 2026. This objective flows from our 2020-2026 Transition Plan. To meet this requirement, we are developing new production methods and imagining innovative solutions to create technical products (for example, we use recycled materials, dope dyed and biton dyeing). More than 160 eco-designed products in Quechua : this is where things stand in 2023.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS
Every human activity impacts the environment. Hiking to and we have a role to play to limit it.
DURABLE CLOTHING AT LONG LAST
A change of scene can give you a fresh perspective.
For us it’s that all walking gear should be made to last.
PLASTIC CREATION CAN TAKE A HIKE
That’s right, we’re making great quality fleeces composed of at least 66% (men’s models), 70% (women’s models) and 71% (junior’s models) of recycled polyester for 90% of our models.
TAKE THE HIRE ROAD
Take a shortcut to reducing your carbon footprint by hiring your camping equipment.
10 YEARS OF ROCK SOLID COMMITMENT TO ECO-FRIENDLY DESIGN
That’s some track record!
As hikers and designers, eco-design is one of our hiking beliefs.
2 ECO-DESIGN ALLIES : DOPE DYED AND BITON
We mainly use two processes to minimise water use in the production of our products.
STAINLESS STEEL, OUR CAST-IRON GUARANTEE
A step in the right direction with this material.
A TYRE REVOLUTION THAT WON’T FALL FLAT
The soles of the NH500 shoes are made of 30% of recycled material. It allows us to avoid new rubber production.
DARE TO REPAIR
Repairing a product is a (good) option! It’s why we can provide you many components and workshop services in-store.
THE ANSWER IS CRYSTAL CLEAR
With your flask, you can say goodbye to plastic bottles!

ON OUR IMPACT
to give us
IN TOTAL TRANSPARENCY
Where are our products made? By whom and under what conditions? What are our commitments? We know that our production methods could raise questions.
This is why we have opted to be totally open: at Decathlon, we design our products, from the beginning of the project through to its production.
Committed to suppliers whom we carefully select for their social and environmental commitments, we share a common objective: to offer you products with the best quality/value ratio.
Thanks to regular audits carried out at our suppliers, we ensure that employees benefit from a quality work environment based on respect, the fulfilment of those people and the consideration of the environmental impact.
Discover our actions and our commitments, in total transparency.
Do you like nature?
Do like us!
Protecting our playground is important to us,
just as much as you are.
Good news! Everyone can help, and it's simple: just pick up any litter you may come across on your hiking paths.
Share your actions on your social networks using the #HikeupPickup and tagging @Quechua to inspire even more people to adopt this reflex on every hike!
