Give your old gear a second wind!

At Decathlon, we want to keep the spirit of sport alive—not just for today, but for tomorrow, too. With our Buy Back initiative, you can return your pre-loved sports equipment and turn it into vouchers or cash. It’s our way of helping you gear up for new adventures while reducing waste and ensuring sports equipment gets the full life it deserves! 

Imagine the miles, memories, and moments your old equipment has seen - now, picture it finding new life in the hands of someone else. Together, we’re contributing towards a circular future, one where every piece of gear gets to tell more stories.

Ready to join us on this journey? 

Let’s keep products in play, waste at bay, and continue moving people through the wonders of sport!

Bringing our best game by celebrating what makes us unique! 

At Decathlon, we’re proud to celebrate inclusion as one of our human fundamentals as well as the whole area of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as a pillar of who we are.

We asked our teammates what inclusion means to them, and their words said it all.

Tribord and Yannick Bestaven (winner of the 2020-2021 Vendée Globe) co-developed an exclusive range adapted to the most extreme conditions, designed to equip the skipper for the 2024 Vendée Globe. This collection combines the expertise of Decathlon’s R&D teams with the demands of high-level performance.

Rentals for Rubbish – the world is our playground, and it’s time to protect it!

At Decathlon, we believe that sport has the power to unite communities. 
Last month, we proudly partnered with Planet Patrol for Rentals for Rubbish, an initiative launched during World Cleanup Day. Over a 2-week mission, communities across the UK traded litter for discounts on sports equipment rentals.

Together, we logged 4,798 pieces of litter - 83% of which was plastic - helping to clean up our playgrounds and safeguard our oceans. Every action matters and we all have a role to play in reducing our impact on the planet. 

The mission continues. Let’s keep moving - for sport and future generations.

Today, I want to talk about Inclusion
Global Diversity Awareness Month kicks off this week, and the topic of Inclusion is going to be a focus point for Decathlon throughout the month. 
Inclusion is part of our recently renewed Human Fundamentals: It’s part of who we are; it’s in our DNA. 
At Decathlon , we believe that true inclusion means fostering an environment where different perspectives, diverse backgrounds and experiences are celebrated…

Did you know that up to 60% of the global workforce commutes by car each day, with some countries reaching as high as 76%?

This equates to 2 billion people contributing more than 100g of CO2 for every kilometre they drive… equivalent to wiping out the impact of millions of acres of forest each year.

As we kick off Mobility Week here in Europe, this issue takes centre stage. 

At Decathlon , we’re fully committed to helping people transition to more sustainable modes of transport in all 70 countries where we operate [...]
