In the third episode of our Sustainability Series, Tim Sweeney goes for a lap around the Salomon Annecy Design Center (ADC) to learn how our product development teams are using digital tools to reduce the number of physical samples needed to make new gear.
We go behind-the-scenes to see how footwear and equipment have traditionally been created and talk to talented team members in footwear and winter sports to see how they are doing their jobs differently today, and how that is helping to reduce waste and improve the brand’s overall carbon footprint.
Watch for a comedic cameo appearance by Salomon mountain athlete Kilian Jornet, who doesn’t seem to enjoy being made fun of by our host.
