Let us remind you of some Thule Group initiatives for a clean nature
Between the 19th and 25th of September, this year, is the “Allemansrätt week” (in English - right of common) in Sweden. Allemansrätten is a unique national law in Sweden that lets people use and stay on private land in nature to, for example, pick berries, bike, or walk. The law is a prerequisite for Sweden's rich outdoor life but also a benefit for those of us who love to be in nature.
Our products make it easier for and inspire people to live active lives, often in our common nature, we at Thule Group see it as an obligation to contribute to the maintenance of trails, hiking paths, biking tracks and all other areas that make it easier for you to live actively outdoors.
When more and more people hike, bike, camp, and enjoy nature, the load on hiking trails, bike trails, etc. also increases. Unfortunately, littering and ware also increase. We believe that our work and collaborations toward a clean common nature are in line with our basic values, we should be able to enjoy nature and be active in it while at the same time protecting it and cleaning up after ourselves. Allemansrätten is as much an obligation as a right.
To pay attention to this week, and also to an important value for Thule Group, we take the opportunity to remind you of some initiatives that have been carried out by Thule Group employees over the years.
”Clean Sweden”
For two years in a row, Thule Group has collaborated with the organization ‘Städa Sverige’ (Clean Sweden) to engage sports associations throughout the country with one common goal: To clean our common nature. An initiative that has grown larger over the years.
