A collective of skiers who share a passion for nature, for pushing boundaries and for creating beautiful products started our journey in 2006. We found that we were not alone. That people demand more from their skis, their clothes and their brands - not only quality, but heart and soul. Vision and commitment to do better by this magical world we live in. We also know that were all here for a short while so we want to get the most out of life, friends and even the work we do. The result has excited us. 50,000 skis are now roaming the wilds of 35 countries, our skis, jackets and films have won awards, and our friends and personalities captivate with great stories that we hope inspire you all to get out and try it yourselves, with tens of millions of views online. Our sales have grown an average of over 50% over the past five years and we are gunning for more with a commitment to quality products. We bring that unrealistic commitment to growing together to our team as well. Its a dream job, but its also intense, with long hours on the road, in the workshop, online and on-snow. We operate with a ethos of trust and recognize that family and adventure are part of the game. If youd like to join us, drop us a line. We dont hire many folks - We keep a lean team and most people stick around - but you never know, maybe you are just whom we are looking for. We also have another important part of our Collective - our individual investors. Over 400 people have invested financially as we have delivered on bringing the vision to reality year-after-year. You can get in touch here and on our website.

Founded in 2000, EMpower—The Emerging Markets Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that partners with local organisations in emerging market countries, and other change-makers, to enable marginalised young people to transform their lives and communities. We support local organisations in emerging market countries that provide youth with the tools, skills, and resources they need to lead healthy, productive lives. What Makes EMpower Unique? -Concentration on emerging market countries, where communities are many times marginalised and left out of economic booms. -Focus on young people during a critical time of transition and the three key building blocks for their future: education, health, and livelihoods. -Open dialogue: EMpower engages donors in decisions about grants and forms trusting conversations with grantee partners about the issues they face and their solutions. -Streamlined, transparent, and highly cost-effective grantmaking model: 100% of funds raised from individuals goes directly to our grantee partners. -Multifaceted and long-term support: we dont just provide financial resources to our grantees, but partnership, networking, and learning opportunities.

Finisterre Capital (Finisterre), is an internal investment management group and trading name of Principal Global Investors (Europe) Limited. Finsiterres vision remains today what it was at the launch of the Total Return Strategy in 2013: to remain an investment specialist with an unrelenting focus on active investing in Emerging Market Debt. We have no ambition to broaden that remit by asset class, instead we continue to adapt and evolve to the changing demands of investors in periodically developing new strategies. In communicating that vision and its execution, we continue to benefit from our relatively small size, with a small group of Partners directing key strategy, working closely with our staff, primarily located in our head office in London, where all our investment activity is located. Finisterre takes its name from the rocky peninsula on the west coast of Galicia, Spain. Cape Finisterre looks out towards the New World; it is a rocky and remote peninsula battered by Atlantic storms. In Roman times it was thought to be the end of the world, hence the Latin name "finis terrae"​ or Lands End.
