Nitro's goal is to continue to be and do better.

Sustainability is defined as the quality of not being harmful to the environment or depleting natural resources, thereby supporting long-term ecological balance.

We at Nitro care about our business's environmental impact, social responsibility, and the global snowboarding community. We focus on quality to extend a product's lifespan. We do not excessively overproduce products, only what is on demand. We consider and choose the most sustainable strategy for lower energy and carbon emissions when shipping product around the globe. We source alternative and sustainable materials to substitute those based on fossil fuels and higher carbon emissions.

People are what make Nitro, and we believe that every person in the company, its supply chain, and distribution should be respected and treated fairly. Therefore, together with all of our partners, we bring our core values to the table first and work with factories on equal rights, fair pay, and opportunities for everyone participating in supplying you with a valuable product.

We believe sustainability goes beyond the product level, it encompasses everything, and for us, social responsibility is not just a point on the corporate checklist. Nitro has been sustainable for over 32 years, and we will keep pushing to be a reliable partner, from supplier to employee to customer. So expect great things from us with an even greater focus on keeping the community alive.

Our de-centralized company structure doesn‘t force our employees to make long (car) commutes. Instead, many colleagues walk to the office, take a bike, or work from home. Nitro has been cultivating this approach since 1990.

We believe that one of the core reasons Nitro has been around for 32 years is that we treat everyone in the supply chain with respect and by bringing our core values to all our business partners. We make sure all of our production partners are aware of our core values. This means that our factory workers must work in a safe and healthy work environment, receive fair labor compensation, and be treated with respect. It is important to us that everyone involved in producing our finished products work in a safe and fair labor environment.

At our board factory, we are erecting a completely new dormitory for our workers with more privacy, a new kitchen, and other amenities. In addition, we are organizing multi-day company trips with all workers, all expenses paid.

Together with ClimatePartner, we have been able to investigate the emissions created from our snowboard's full lifecycle. Now we are equipped to work towards reducing our products carbon emission and invest into impactful carbon offset projectsoffsetting 100% of our snowboards emissions - making the 2021 Nitro Snowboards officially Carbon Neutral.

We believe in fair work environments for all and try to use as many environmentally friendly procedures and alternatives as possible. In addition, we work with factories that provide safe and fair labor standards to their employees to produce our finished products.

We know that producing outerwear and clothing is not the most environmentally friendly process, so we focus on making premium products that will last longer and produce responsible amounts to reduce overstock. We use our leftover fabrics by creating a “leftover collection” at the end of each production cycle to maximize the use of raw materials. In addition, we have recently relocated so that all of our raw materials are closer to the finished product factory to minimize unnecessary shipping distances and the negative impacts associated. Our mission is to continue working with the entire supply, production, and retail chain to raise the bar on environmental sustainability standards.
