EOG Objectives

The European outdoor industry has grown rapidly over the last two decades, yet trade representation has remained solely at a national level. The EOG was formed therefore to act on behalf of, and represent the common interests of members within Europe. Specifically its mandate is:


European Outdoor Group

  • To provide a voice for the outdoor industries ensuring an effective interface between industry and consumers, the media and government
  • To deliver relevant and cost effective services for members
  • To work with the organisers of the two major European outdoor trade fairs to ensure that members have the most effective possible platform for their products. (The EOG partners Messe Friedrichshafen for the 'OutDoor' show)
  • To facilitate networking amongst its members
  • To liaise with European Government on issues of legislation that affect the outdoor industry
  • To energetically promote participation in outdoor leisure activities
  • To help establish platforms of 'best practice' on issues such as the environment, sourcing and other areas of common interest
  • To facilitate relevant market research for the benefit of members


The supervisory management of the association is by elected committee with a term of two years. The current officers are as follows:

President
David Udberg - Managing Director, Lowe Alpine UK

Vice President
Bernd Kullmann - CEO, Deuter Sport

Treasurer
Eddy Codega - President, C.A.M.P.

Board Members
Rolf Schmid - CEO, Mammut Sports Group
Martin Axelhed - CEO Fjällräven International AB & Vice President Fenixoutdoor AB
Jean-Marc Pambet - President, Salomon SAS

To ensure that the association's affairs and agenda are driven aggressively, the association has appointed Mark Held as Secretary General. Mark has over twenty years experience within the outdoor sector and formerly held the position of Vice Chairman of the EOG. 

The fédération is open and enthusiastic to new members joining, but to ensure that membership is relevant to the aims of the fédération, there are certain criteria that brands wishing to join must meet.

If your company is an outdoor Brand and has a European turnover in excess of EUR 5 million and you formally trade in five or more European countries, then you are eligible to apply for membership of the EOG.
