Pertex celebrates 10 years as a Sustaining Member of EOCA

The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) is a charity established to fund and support a range of conservation projects, protecting wild spaces across the world. EOCA allows companies across the outdoor industry to work together, pooling resources, to make a significant difference in the effort to support threatened habitats, species and environments.

“In 2015, the Sustaining Membership programme was launched and seven existing EOCA members immediately signed up, agreeing to donate €10,000 annually, in addition to their membership fee.  Those companies led the way within the outdoor leisure sector, demonstrating a commitment to conservation and ensuring the continuation of EOCA’s work to address the loss of biodiversity and climate crisis.

Sustaining Membership helps to fund the core costs of EOCA, ensuring future growth and the continued support needed for two project funding rounds each year.  It allows the association to fund hands-on conservation around the world.” – EOCA.

As outdoor companies, we gain significant benefits from the natural environment. It is a resource that we rely on, and as such we have an increased responsibility to invest in and do all that we can to conserve it, for the benefit of all. Support of EOCA, through Sustaining Membership, is an ongoing contribution to help the organisation focus on long-term goals. Only by collaborating as an industry, can we make a real impact that is needed. We encourage other companies to come together and join us.
