Burton has a responsibility to protect the people and playground that sustain snowboarding and the mountain lifestyle. We aim to maximize our positive social impact and minimize our negative environmental impact while continuing to deliver high-quality and innovative performance products. In December of 2017, Burton announced ambitious sustainability goals to achieve by the end of 2020. Come hear about our progress to-date and the challenges we've faced along the way.
