PROTECT OUR PLAYGOUNDS
HOW WE’RE HELPING
The Great Outdoors is only as great as we leave it. Here at Kelty, we’re all about play, but it’s important that we play responsibly. Whether we’re picking up our favorite trails, educating our communities, or building sustainable business practices, we’re committed to protecting our planet. Here’s a look at some of the ways we’re working to do our part.
THE CONSERVATION ALLIANCE
Kelty: FOUNDING MEMBER
Kelty is one of the four founding members of The Conservation Alliance—created in 1989 by industry leaders REI, Patagonia, The North Face, and Kelty—who shared the goal of increasing outdoor industry support for conservation efforts. Since its inception, the Alliance has grown to 270+ members and contributed over $29 million to grassroots conservation groups throughout North America. This funding has helped save more than 73 million acres of wildlands; protect 3,580 miles of rivers; stop or remove 37 dams; designate five marine reserves; and purchase 21 climbing areas.
RECYCLED MATERIALS
Kelty is proud to announce our new recycled materials program, which helps to keep waste out of landfills and conserve our precious natural resources. By using recycled materials in some of our newest sleeping bag liners, shells, and fills, we’re working toward a more sustainable future for a happier, healthier planet.
