Advocacy

Als Black Diamond gegründet wurde, war es ein wichtiges Anliegen unseres jungen Unternehmens, im Namen unserer Gemeinschaft von Nutzern etwas zu bewegen. Heute fühlen wir uns diesen Leitsätzen mehr denn je verpflichtet – dem Schutz und Erhalt unserer Erholungs- und Erlebnislandschaften, die wir so sehr lieben, indem wir uns darauf konzentrieren, den Entwurf von Produkten, den Herstellungsprozess, die Lieferketten, Anlagen und Marketingmaterialien im Hinblick auf Nachhaltigkeit und einen möglichst kleinen Fussabdruck zu gestalten. Ebenso wichtig ist unsere kontinuierliche und offene Advocacy unter der Führung von CEO und Gründer Peter Metcalf für Erhaltungs- und Nutzungsmassnahmen – lokal, regional und global – sowie eine philanthropische Unterstützung von Naturschutzprojekten und Non-Profit-Organisationen, die in diesen Bereichen tätig sind.

Copp-Dash Inspired: Craig Muderlak’s Alaskan Adventure
At Black Diamond, we’re passionate about empowering climbers to not only push their limits in the mountains, but to also share their stories of inspiration when they come home. That’s why we sponsor the Copp-Dash Inspire Award. Established in the memory of Jonny Copp and Micah Dash—two leading alpinists, BD brothers and storytellers who lost their lives in the mountains in 2009—the award is a way to keep their vision alive. Craig Muderlak, a filmmaker, artist and climber, won the 2016 Copp-Dash award to document a rowdy plan to put up first ascents in Alaska … but that was only half of the story. His team would also travel by homemade skis, burn ‘em to lose the weight and then pack raft back to civilization. This is his story, told with the help of artwork he created after his adventure.
