Sustainability timeline
Not just buzzwords - for us it's a company culture.
Sustainability may be a buzzword. But for us it’s been part of our company culture since 1932, when Jonas Lundhag started his little shoemaker shop on Frösön in Jämtland – even back then his idea was to make boots that would last a lifetime. We often say that sustainability has been in our DNA from 1932 until today, and into the future.
