PHILANTHROPY
BURTON'S COMMITMENT TO EQUITY
THE CHALLENGE
(1) We see underrepresentation and marginalization in the snowboarding world that mirrors inequity in our society.
(2) We recognize the correlation between race, gender, sexual orientation, and physical ability in major societal outcomes such as health and economic opportunity.
OUR APPROACH
As an employer and leader in the snowboarding community, we want to address the root issues of inequity and break down systemic barriers that have disproportionally affected marginalized and underrepresented persons.
Our commitment seeks to center:
+ Women
+ LGBTQIA+
+ People with a disability
+ BIPOC
OUR FOCUS AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES
EQUITABLE ACCESS
Advancing participation and creating a sense of belonging in outdoor sports, beginning with snowboarding.
RESILIENT CLIMATE FUTURE
