We are proud to share that Anne Larilahti, Senior Vice President, Sustainability at Amer Sports, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI).

Anne has led sustainability efforts at Amer Sports since 2022. As a board member, she will share her experience and help shape the direction of the sporting goods industry on key issues such as physical inactivity, sustainability, and responsible business. We talked with Anne about what this means for her, for Amer Sports, and for the future of the industry.

What is WFSGI, and why is it important for Amer Sports to be involved?

The WFSGI is a global organization that brings together companies and associations from across the sporting goods industry, from big brands to manufacturers and national federations. It’s a platform for joint action on the challenges and opportunities we all face, like promoting physical activity, advancing sustainability, and working on international trade issues facing the industry. For Amer Sports, being part of WFSGI means we can contribute to and learn from industry-wide solutions and bring our perspective into global conversations.
