EOCA scores its first Century!

The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) is delighted to announce that it has now signed up 100 member and partners. This milestone, achieved in just 7 years, will be celebrated at this year’s OutDoor show in Friedrichshafen.

Since 1st January 2013, 19 new members have joined the association, together with 3 trade association partners and 1 new media partner, swelling the membership by a massive 29% in just 6 months – and taking the total number of members to 102.

One of the most recent companies to sign up to EOCA to help achieve this target is Arc’teryx Equipment Inc. Joanne Mayzes, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Arc'teryx said "Arc'teryx is a company from North Vancouver Canada, with a vast playground of mountain wilderness just minutes away from our head office. Joining EOCA aligns with our mandate of helping to protect the environments in which we play. We support our global community of climbers, hikers and skiers who play in the outdoors by protecting wild areas across the globe. We see the EOCA as an effective, successful partner in helping to protect these environments."

Tomas Torstensson, co-founder of Kozi Kidz who have also signed up added, "we are passionate about giving children the opportunity to enjoy, understand and connect with nature and the outdoors. Joining EOCA was a natural step for us to take."
