VAUDE heeft afgelopen 27 november de 'Germany's Most Sustainable Brand 2015' - award gewonnen. VAUDE ontving de prijs uit handen van de Duitse bondskanselier Angela Merkel omdat het duurzaamheid blijft nastreven en continu doorontwikkelt. VAUDE is sponsor van het NKBV-mountainbikeprogramma.
“At all levels of value creation, sustainability is placed in the foreground. VAUDE sets standards for sustainable products with programs such as the Green Shape label or its Fair Wear Foundation “Leader status” for fair working conditions. [...] Despite the small size of the company, the VAUDE brand is a strong, successful and trusted brand among all of its stakeholders.” Aldus het juryrapport.
