## Sustainability story

XCoSports Bulgaria is a leading importer of high quality outdoor sports equipment and a representative in Bulgaria for Patagonia, Scarpa, Black Diamond and many more. In 2015 XCoSports, together with it's retail chain Basecamp Shop, became a member of 1% for the Planet. Since then, every year Basecamp donates 1% of it's annual turnover to fight climate change. So far, the effort has donated over 70 000 BGN to preserve Bulgaria's nature. We also create projects on local environmental issues, including raising awareness, donation and volunteer campaigns, and on ground activities. Our aim and main company policy is to have as minimal impact on the environment as possible. Take care of our Planet, while exploring the beauty of the outdoors!
