KMD - Kathmandu

[drcjp]

I'm on the fence on this one. I think it has 50:50 chance of being good:not so good year. Started off well, so may continue. I think a lot of operators are playing on people's fear and getting decent parcels at good discounts. Of course it's all determined by your entry point, but then I suspect a number of Feb/March ATM buyers are feeling pretty nervous at the moment as well. And I also suspect Rod Duke is happy enough with Xavier.

Interest blog post: https://sixfootjournalism.wordpress....s-to-landfill/ - would be interested to know if this is true and if so, how much stock gets destroyed.

Hmmm, at first glance that does seem quite disappointing, certainly for their image if this article gets around. I would imagine those destroyed items were damaged and/or items on display which were no longer any good??
Still, doing it outside in daylight in view of others??? Maybe not so smart. Not when you're trying to sell yourself as sustainable and targeting zero waste!

Public relations nightmare ...

Kathmandu admits chucking stock in dumpster but says it was faulty http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/indu...-it-was-faulty "A spokeswoman for Kathmandu in Sydney, Helen McCombie, said the stock was "unsaleable due to a quality issue".

Of course it was faulty, the staff had just slashed it to pieces! OMG.

Probably common practice - 'sustainability' and such words are just a words in most corporates, nothing else. Gives the right impression but in Kathmandu's case obviously not part of the company culture if a 'senior' employee can do this sort of thing

They'll say (with all sincerity ha ha) this not normal practice - that store manager will be moved on - and all will be forgotten in a few weeks

Won't be doing the brand equity any favours but I suspect it's common practise industry wide..
