Go to the storeAt Specialized, we’re firmly convinced that the future of short journeys will increasingly take place by bikes, and not by cars. Transport contributes enormously to greenhouse gas emissions and bicycles are an important tool to fight climate change. A bike, to us, represents this and much more: freedom, the ability to create a community, mental an physical health. We work day in, day out to improve our planet.
The energy used in Selva di Val Gardena is sourced from certified, 100% green renewable energy sources, the result of South Tyrolean hydroelectric plants. Clean energy should be accessible to everyone right away: Alperia’s mission is to shape the present of people and ensure their everyday life is greener and that they become more aware of the environment.
At the BMW HERO Südtirol Dolomites we’re committed to the environment. And so are our partners. Each of them has wanted to actively support the HERO TO ZERO sustainability programme. And they’ll start doing so right from the 2022 HERO by implementing targeted actions to protect the environment. These actions range from monitoring emissions, recycling, using natural materials (which in turn creates less pollutants).
