We understand the need for maintaining respect and good relations with all stakeholders in order to meet our social responsibilities and build sustainable company value.

Our stakeholders are any persons affected by Sombrio’s operations. Community members, customers, employees, reps, distributors, dealers, the mountain bike community, contractors and suppliers are examples of stakeholders who we think are important. We understand the need for maintaining respect and good relations with all stakeholders in order to meet our social responsibilities and build sustainable company value. Because we recognize that sustainable development is an essential part of our business, Sombrio will develop policies, plans and practices that:

• Substitute certain minerals that are scarce in nature with others that are more abundant, using all mined materials efficiently, and systematically reducing dependence on fossil fuels through renewable energy options and energy efficiency programs.
• Substitute certain persistent and unnatural compounds with ones that are normally abundant or break down more easily in nature, and using all substances produced by society efficiently.
• Systematically reduce our contribution to over-harvesting of natural environments, foreign introductions and other forms of modification by operating in and drawing resources only from well-managed eco-systems.

Social Sustainability

• Promote and support good health for all our stakeholders.
• Encourage positive relationships, foster open dialogue and active, positive participation and support for improved quality of life within our organization and throughout the communities in which we operate.
• Provide access to innovation, skills development and satisfying opportunities for work, personal creativity, and recreation.
• Promote healthy, well-integrated communities (where we operate) through the support of strategies that encourage a diverse, resilient and dynamic workforce of residents.
• Contribute to a society where everyone has access to safe and supportive living and working environments.
