8. Jones Snowboards
We’ve got big respect for Jones, because as a relatively new company, they’ve done what not many snowboard companies can claim to do and have published a transparent supply chain.
Just by looking at their website you can find out all about the factory they use, and where they source all their materials. Consequently, everything they need to make a snowboard is sourced from within 500km of the factory so they’re not unnecessarily shipping parts from all over the world. Furthermore, the factory (GST in Austria) is dedicated to making their boards as eco friendly as possible, and runs on green energy and recycled water.
Jones is also a member of 1%For the Planet and POW (Protect our Winters) and also make apparel and backpacks using recycled fabrics, organic cotton and water based inks. We’re really hoping that at some point in the future, they’ll be transparent about where their clothes come from, too.
