By fostering collaboration, the foundation seeks to counteract climate change and the loss of biodiversity.

At uvex

Since July 2023, the uvex safety group has been part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Community. As a result of this membership, uvex can benefit from a global network to promote its sustainability goals, drive more sustainable development initiatives and innovative, environmentally friendly solutions. Already, uvex has integrated initial circular economy practices such as the composting of apparel materials and the use of recycled materials into its existing product portfolio.
