For Transa, sustainability goes beyond its own product range and also includes active social commitments. This is why Transa supports various NGOs and also works with organisations whose values and objectives are in line with its own. These include a focus on conscious consumption and a responsible attitude towards one another and our environment.

Working for cleaner mountains
The goal of the Summit Foundation is to reduce the environmental impact of human activity – especially in the mountains – with concrete solutions and awareness. For example: since its establishment in 2001, this non-profit foundation has staged an annual Clean-Up Tour. The tour now covers more than 30 stops where each year volunteers collect tonnes of the waste that collects around ski runs and other mountain environments, to the detriment of nature, animals and waterways. Through these high-profile action days, a range of awareness-raising efforts and assistance with scientific studies, the Summit Foundation helps minimise the impact of outdoor activities on our natural surroundings.

Social sustainability in the labour market
The Zurich Asylum Organisation (AOZ) is committed to migration, integration and education. The city’s public-sector organisation supports refugees and other people with a migrant background with various services such as accommodation, care and education. Several Transa repair workshop employees were hired through the AOZ.
