TRAINING CAMP THEATER: Sustainability in the Outdoor Market: Business Value and Consumer Expectations

Dec 04 2025

1:00 PM - 1:30 PM CST

Training Camp Theater

Presented by Outdoor Industry Association 

Sustainability isn’t just about values. it’s a business imperative shaping both product development and retail operations. Consumers continue to prioritize sustainability in how they perceive brands, evaluate products, and choose where to shop. At the same time, compliance and reporting requirements are evolving quickly, with new state and national standards set to reshape what’s expected from both brands and retailers.

This session brings together insights for the entire outdoor value chain. You’ll learn what resonates with consumers and drives loyalty, how sustainability influences purchasing decisions, and which emerging regulations every company should prepare for by 2026. Whether you’re building products, running a store, or leading marketing and operations, you’ll walk away with a clearer picture of how to meet consumer expectations, stay ahead of compliance, and strengthen your business through sustainability.
