Our history, which began in the Dolomites, has always been characterized by our careful consideration for people, the local area, and mountain communities, recognizing that the resources available to us are limited. This care is in our DNA.
Over the years, we’ve become increasingly aware that it’s not just a question of where we want to go or what we want to achieve, but how we want to do it. We are here to imagine a different tomorrow: this is why we want to inspire others, to design a future together in harmony with nature and the mountains.
Through our activities, we want to strengthen our positive impact on our surroundings and reduce our negative impact as much as possible.
Our journey toward sustainable development has begun!

People are at the center of Karpos’ business. We share with our employees and partners a passion for the outdoor world and a lightweight and high-performance approach to the mountains. With the support of MVC Group, we’ve developed a social responsibility strategy based on the adoption of an internal Code of Conduct and activities that support our employees’ work-life balance.
We’ve extended our commitment to protecting people’s rights to our network of suppliers, with a view to developing a responsible supply chain. The result is the Business Partners Statement of Ethics — a declaration of compliance with the law, ethical principles, fair treatment of people, and the promotion of a safe workplace — which we invite our partners to sign.

Our passion is made of calloused hands on the rough rock of a crag, of trails traversed under a powerful summer cloudburst, of a snowstorm during our ski mountaineering outings. Nature with its elements represents our space for freedom and personal expression. We want to give something back to our playground, and we want to celebrate its beauty. This is why we support initiatives that promote the maintenance and sustainable development of the mountains.
In 2021, with the Help the Mountains program, we transformed this commitment into a mission: supporting a series of activities aimed at mantaining mountain areas and protecting the environment.

Our products tell of an unconventional passion for the mountain sports that energize us and of our way of experiencing them with lightness, intensity, and color. At Karpos, we try to transfer our way of living the outdoor life into our production processes.
We’re aware that we cannot eliminate our impact, which is why we’re trying to limit it as much as possible in the development of our new collections. We pursue “responsible performance” in the belief that aspects such as consumer health and safety, the protection of workers’ human rights, and the humane treatment of animals are just as important as warmth, waterproofness, and breathability.
