Our Sustainability Practice
Growing outdoors
goes hand in hand with
protecting nature
At OUTnABOUT, sustainability is part of our brand DNA — woven into both product development and community action:
In fabric selection, we prioritize eco-friendly, recyclable, and sustainable fibers.
In production, we focus on durability and functionality to reduce unnecessary waste.
In community action, we partner with the SEE Foundation, donating a portion of our sales to marine conservation and the Sanjiangyuan ecological protection program.
Through what children wear every day, we pass on the spirit of exploring and protecting the natural world.

Sustainability in
Action
At OUTnABOUT, sustainability is not a destination, but an ongoing journey. We believe that meaningful growth begins with connecting to the world around us. That's why each new collection is paired with a dedicated sustainability initiative. Through exploring diverse ecosystems, collaborating with foundations, and supporting local communities, we hope every garment carries a story of care, conservation, and connection.

Partnered with the SEE Foundation. We introduced 9 representative bird species across different cities through custom illustrations. A portion of all sales from this collection was donated directly to bird conservation efforts.

Nature Gallery
We traveled into the Sanjiangyuan region of Qinghai to better understand the relationship between people and nature. Through conversations with local communities on human-wildlife coexistence and biodiversity, we created a reflective content series exploring how we can live and grow alongside the natural world.

See Sea
Continued our partnership with SEE Foundation, this initiative focused on protecting marine life. After learning about ocean pollution, guest illustrator MOXI — a young artist — created a series of illustrations featuring tearful marine creatures, offering a moving reflection of children's empathy and their connection to the natural world.

Mountain Story
Continuing our journey through the mountainous regions of Western Sichuan, we organized a high-altitude football match and supported local children through sports equipment donations — creating moments of connection, joy, and shared experiences through play.
