A concrete and demanding environmental commitment
At GONG, our passion for nature guides every one of our actions. We were the first brand in the world to package our plastic-free boards in 100% recyclable materials. Our exemplary, low-energy building reflects this commitment: as well as being a place dedicated to innovation and showcasing our products, it is also a real tribute to biodiversity. Surrounded by 400 trees that we have planted, a forest that we have made sanctuary, and a pond created to enhance biodiversity, it is a haven for local wildlife. Our restaurant in this incredible setting is eco-labelled. These costly and demanding choices are in line with our desire to minimise our environmental impact, by protecting forests, soils and animals as far as possible, and by creating a space where man and nature live in harmony.
Sustainability at the heart of our product philosophy
This environmental approach goes hand in hand with a product philosophy geared towards sustainability.
We design solid, repairable boards that have an average of five to seven different owners in their lifetime.
Our credo is to reduce waste, keep materials out of landfill and extend product life. Our workshop repairs not only GONG products, but also those of other brands, in a spirit of mutual aid and respect for resources. This optimised product longevity demonstrates that excellence, sustainability and commitment are compatible.
A community driven by passion and sharing
At the heart of GONG is a community
Patrice Guénolé, founder and shaper, shares his passion tirelessly, advising, helping and passing on his love of nature, the ocean and board sports.
This sincere commitment is reflected in the GONG team, where each employee is invested with a mission: to respect, protect and celebrate the environment.
Our aim is to offer as many people as possible access to the magic of Wing Foil, in an enlightened and serene way.
