Sustainability
Quiksilver exists to inspire people by sharing the stoke of surfing while preserving the future of our playgrounds, the mountain and the wave.
Our Journey
As a brand, and as individuals, we’ve always had a deep connection with nature and the people who design, make, sell, and use our products. And this is how we see sustainability; a balance of respect for people and planet.
We recognize our role as leaders in the boardriding community and are committed to sustainable progress at every level. That’s why we developed a long-term strategy that’s in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals; a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.”
From our backyard to the open oceans, we aim to lead the charge in keeping our playgrounds safe and healthy for everybody to enjoy.
Playgrounds
As individuals, we have the power to make better choices. As a community, the sum of our choices can drive real change. We’re here to inspire our tribe and influence our industry.
People
Whether it’s the services we provide, the goods we make or the ideas we bring to life, we strive to incorporate environmental and ethical practices into everything we do.
