Härkila Corporate Social Responsibility

On the hunt for a better future

Our Philosophy

While the methods and styles of hunting are diverse, they share one crucial element in common: responsibility. When it comes to nature and wildlife, it’s something we at Härkila take seriously.

At Härkila, we recognise the significant impact the textile industry has on our climate. As a leading brand in the hunting gear sector, we are committed to exploring and implementing ways to reduce our environmental footprint.

Our dedication to nature drives us to continuously seek out innovative practices while using durable, lasting materials to help lessen our impact.

Lasting Quality

Our products are crafted for durability. From threading to fit, every aspect is designed with longevity in mind, reducing waste and resource use. We aim to create garments that last your lifetime and can be passed along to the next generation of hunters.

Care and Conservation

We provide comprehensive care instructions and local repair services in select countries, emphasising the importance of maintaining and repairing gear rather than discarding it. This approach not only extends the life of our products, but also minimises the environmental impact.
