Grow a sustainable business

Grown has been the first ski company introducing an eco-efficiently designed ski at the most important international sports industry fair, the ISPO in Munich, Germany. In 2008 our efforts were awarded with the ISPO Volvo sports design award ECODESIGN. This event triggered the whole ski industry to develop their own sustainability efforts.

We offer the most eco-efficient skis on the market, emitting at least 40% less CO2 emissions than comparable skis. The skis are climate offset, as is our company. As the leader in sustainable ski design, we are proud that the major companies took our design ideas and our results as a benchmark for their further development in this direction. Still, sustainability is a process, and the path to walk is a long and difficult one of entrepreneurial risks and investments.

We started with a small group of friends, a carpenter, an engineer, a business developer and an enviromental scientist, and designed and built the first ptototypes in a small workshop, constructing ski testing machines and setting up a large database of R&D knowhow. Then, we realized the potential in this topic, and found out that in order to produce a larger amount of skis we needed to professionalize our production. We teamed up with a group of ski producers with more than 20 years of experience on the market, guaranteeing the technical success over the life span of the ski.

We are dedicated to grow a sustainable business, building up a community of like-minded people who like to contribute with their skills and experiences to Grown.
