The past decade has been the warmest on record and it’s having an adverse effect on our winters. Our favourite sports are at risk as our playground continues to suffer and we at Surfdome don’t want to just sit back and watch it happen.
We went off grid for our revolutionary winter campaign with POW ambassadors Ed Leigh and James Stentiford, heading into the mountains in Verbier, Switzerland to see for ourselves the very real risk posed by increasing global temperatures.
Surfdome as an E-commerce store has highlighted the areas of impact we have on the environment, and we're making real change. From partnerships with charities such as Protect Our Winters UK to the brands we choose to sell (such as Volcom with their innovative REPREVE range) to our sustainable processes as a business – we understand that it’s time to act now.

The Alps could lose as much as 70% of snow cover over the next 80 years!* That’s an astonishing statistic that will adversely affect not only the outdoor sports community who rely on healthy winters for their livelihoods and leisure time, but also the wider environmental impact of loss of snow cover will result in increased sea levels and disrupted ecological cycles will be felt by all of us. Remember, we all need winter.

At Surfdome we've highlighted the areas of impact we have on the environment, and we're making real change, leading the industry by example.
We've taken yet another leap forward in pushing the business ahead on sustainability agendas, by reshaping our operations in a new, highly sustainable, state of the art building #PoweredGreen

Marine plastic has crowded the line-up, wrapping itself around our fins and wheels, and only a few inches under the snow. The scale is undeniable; a rubbish truck of plastic enters our ocean every minute! Travelling on ocean currents, this plastic is now turning up in every corner of our planet, from Cornish beaches, to uninhabited Pacific islands. At Surfdome we've made it our mission to eradicate plastic from our operations and educate others about plastic use. In 2015 we took a stand and eliminated 74% of plastic from our packaging.
But we're not done yet, and we're helping the brands we work with to join us, too.

The seasons are changing; winters are shorter, snow levels are rising, parks and streets are wetter and the ocean swell patterns are harder to predict. We've shifted the balance and we need to restore it. The CO2 we're emitting is changing the climate and we're fast approaching the point of no return, so we need to act now. At Surfdome we've been almost entirely run on renewable electricity since 2015, but now we're going a few steps further with our new warehouse. It's as efficient as modern buildings get!
We're generating our own renewable electricity and heat from the sun. Any energy we don't generate ourselves is bought from energy companies that only generate 100% renewable energy.
We think this should be the norm!

Every day we make choices on the products we choose purchase. Choices between chemical spraying or organic, sweatshop or fair trade, materials mined out of the ground or recycled, products wrapped in plastic destined for landfill or recyclable biodegradable material... The choice is available and our well earned money can be directed as a force for change.
Not every product at Surfdome is perfect, but we take pride in the products we sell. Many brands are now finally taking sustainability seriously through their product line and supply chain, and some are exemplars that we are proud to endorse.
We all need to support the products that say 'Hey, there is a better way!', so we actively source sustainably focused products and present them in our specific listing. Look out for the #DeepBlueLife mark that is a sign of sustainable product curation.
Deep Blue Life harness the power of water-sports to tell a new, powerful story, connecting our passion for play into the desire to protect the oceans… AND live a #DEEPBLUELIFE
