Salewa supports women in Nepal through the project “Sherpa Women” in cooperation with Empowering Women of Nepal, a non-governmental organization which aims to improve living condition for females. The Italian brand has selected a range of articles for which Salewa donates €1 to the NGO for each item sold. In addition, the company has launched a campaign called “Hoffnungsstücke gesucht” (“pieces of hope wanted”) in partnership with its retail customers. When customers hand in to shops used outdoor gear, they are granted a discount of €10 for each item they purchase. The used products, depending of their state, will be shipped directly to Nepal or will be re-cycled and the money from this process will be donated. So far, Salewa has managed under the “Sherpa Women” flag to collect some €30,000.
