What's it all about...
Route One offers a great range of high-quality
products that enable active, adventurous lifestyles, build positive self-esteem,
and foster a sense of community through skateboarding.
We’re committed to bringing the positive benefits of skateboarding to everyone,
irrespective of colour, age, or gender. We celebrate diversity and inclusion
and look to encourage people to engage with all aspects of their local
communities.
We appreciate the need to balance the profits we make with the well-being of
our people and the survival of our planet. We are committed to improving our
sustainability and ensuring we consider our customers, colleagues, environment,
and community in the decisions we take.

We’ve been selling boards for over 30 years and in that time, we’ve helped thousands of people enter the world of skateboarding. Skateboarding has amazing potential - to improve physical and mental well-being; develop personal resilience; stimulate creativity; and most importantly, bring people together.

Circularity refers to a concept and approach that aims to minimize waste and maximize the use of resources by keeping products, materials, and resources in a closed-loop system. It is a departure from the traditional linear economy, which follows a "take-make-dispose" pattern, where products are manufactured from raw materials, used, and then discarded as waste.

Sustainability at Route One is an ongoing process, and one that can never be complete as every product we sell uses natural resources and comes with an environmental cost. However, we know that we have a big responsibility to our community, our planet and ourselves, to acknowledge our footprint and improve as a business. Therefore, we’re making small steps each season to lessen our impact and find a more sustainable route forward. We’ve only got one shot at protecting our planet, and we’re all in it together.

Our supply chain is complex, with hundreds of different brands on offer, each with various product lines and styles often sourced from a multitude of different supplier factories. Many of our suppliers are at different stages on their sustainability journeys. To help you make more informed decisions we’ve gathered information on the sustainability of our top brands.
We’re glad to be moving in a more sustainable direction, but we’re aware that there’s still a lot of improvements to be made, and we’re committed to achieving greater sustainability across our entire Own Brand range and in partnership with the brands we represent.
Every journey starts with a single step and ours is just beginning.
If you have any further questions about Route One’s social and environmental responsibility, please don’t hesitate to contact our Sustainability Projects Team at sustainability@routeone.co.uk.
