Earth Day is more than a moment to celebrate the natural world—it’s a call to protect it. For fishing and outdoor brands, the connection between business success and a healthy environment couldn’t be clearer. Clean water, abundant fisheries, and resilient ecosystems are essential—not only for future generations but for the longevity of your business.
That’s why this Earth Day, we’re encouraging fishing and outdoor companies to go beyond awareness and take real, measurable action with the help of Emerger Strategies’ Sustainability Consulting Services. There is nothing more authentic than a fishing or outdoor brand that conserves resources, reduces its greenhouse gas emissions, chooses materials that are less harmful to the environment, and makes the switch to more sustainable packaging. It also makes sense for fishing and outdoor brands to strongly support conservation and the protection of our oceans and public lands.
Did you know that America’s public lands are at risk of being sold, defunded, or developed? That’s why Emerger Strategies is proud to join 60+ businesses to send a powerful message to our lawmakers: protecting our public lands is critical to individuals, communities and businesses across the country. The Conservation Alliance is taking a leadership role in the formation and organization of the new business coalition, Brands for Public Lands, and partnering with other nonprofits and businesses alike in order to build their movement of businesses defending public lands. I would encourage your business to sign up for Brands for Public Lands to join the fight!
Why Sustainability Matters for Outdoor and Fishing Brands
Your customers care about the planet, and increasingly, so do regulators, and your retail partners. Whether is greenhouse gas emissions, EPR for packaging, or PFAS, your environmental impact is becoming increasingly regulated. Major retailers like REI, Walmart, and Target now require brands to disclose their sustainability performance, measure greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and reduce environmental impact.
But many small to medium-sized brands struggle to find the time, team, or know-how to meet these expectations. That’s where we come in.
