Point of View: Unique Capitan The Mothership

Näkökulma: Ainutlaatuinen Capitan The Mothership

Snowboarding’s deep connection to nature has led brands to consider how they can do their part to protect our planet. Many brands have taken significant steps towards being environmentally friendly, but one brand in particular has stood out: Capita. Their The Mothership factory is a masterpiece that combines technology, innovation and environmental awareness.

Located in Feistritz, Austria, The Mothership is currently the world’s first 100% clean hydro powered snowboard factory. But its environmental credentials go beyond its energy source. The factory was built using locally sourced materials and was designed to conserve water and energy, as well as recycle waste materials.

Capita has achieved ISO 14001 environmental management certification for The Mothership, recognizing the organization's commitment to environmentally friendly practices and continuous improvement.

But why is this so important? Snowboarding is a sport that is particularly dependent on nature and the seasons. Changing weather conditions and snow levels directly affect the future of the sport. Capitan The Mothership is an example of how companies can make a positive difference and lead the way towards a more sustainable future.

When choosing your next board, consider the brand's environmental credentials. Capita has shown that it is possible to combine top-notch performance with environmental friendliness. The Mothership is much more than just a factory; it is a cornerstone of visionary thinking, innovation and environmental awareness.

The next time you snowboard on the slopes and feel the wind in your face and the snow under your feet, remember that your choices matter. Snowboarding and nature go hand in hand, and it is our responsibility to ensure that this relationship flourishes in the future.
