A word from this season’s sponsor, Salomon:
« What motivates us is to enrich people’s lives by enabling them to play outside. Too often, life gets in the way, and we struggle to find moments for play. At Salomon, our modest contribution to this challenge is inspiring people to make Time to Play. But while we are play-minded, we recognize the need to play responsibly.This feeling of accountability drives our commitment to: The Toys, the products we use to find these moments of joy and expression, and that we strive to create in line with our values. The Playmakers, who design, develop and make the toys that help make our playtime possible. The Playground that is home to our experiences and that must be maintained and protected. The Players, who nurture and energize our communities. All of this reinforces why we are implementing a sustainability program with key objectives for 2025. »
