Since 2012, the company has also embarked on a path to eliminate all PFCs (perfluorocarbons) from its clothing. PFCs are a chemical treatment that makes trousers, jackets and bags water-repellent. These PFCs are harmful to the health of humans and our planet. That same year, La Sportiva joined the BlueSign® label, this international standard certifies products from the textile production chain according to socio-environmental criteria approved by Bluesign®.
