OutDoor by ISPO 2024, held on June 3–5, 2024, in Munich, was a key event for the outdoor industry, with a strong emphasis on sustainability across its three pillars: Product, Planet, and People.

The first day focused on “Think New - Your Products,” where over 600 exhibitors showcased innovative outdoor products. Sustainability was a central theme, with many exhibitors highlighting eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient production processes, and sustainable designs. The second day emphasized the “Planet” pillar, with a strong focus on sustainability through the circular economy. The final day centred on the “People” pillar, highlighting the outdoor community’s role in promoting sustainability.
