The Eco Index is a ground-breaking environmental assessment tool designed to advance sustainability practices within the outdoor industry. It provides companies throughout the supply chain a way to benchmark and measure their environmental footprint, allowing them to identify areas for improvement and make informed sourcing and product life cycle decisions.

Although rooted in the outdoor industry, the project’s output and tools have a wide range of applicability to other industries and sectors.

The Eco Index initiative is led by Outdoor Industry Association and the European Outdoor Group and has been facilitated by Zero Waste Alliance, a 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on developing standards, tools and practices that lead to a more sustainable future.
