Our Dare-2-0 approach

DARE-2-0 (dare-to-zero) is IDARE´s approach to adhere to sustainable, future-oriented and mindful practices and outlines our commitment to continuously embrace a collaborative transformation journey with the entire IDARE stakeholder community. Our DARE-2-0 methodology is more than a sustainability policy – it is a community mindset that is infused in all our actions and builds the foundation of what we do.

In a nutshell, DARE-2-0 can be summarized into two core principles: Be (I) daringly innovative and strive for (II) relentless excellence in building up a sustainable and participative economy around IDARE products and services to empower every individual of the IDARE ecosystem.

Daring Innovation

Innovation is at the core of our methodology to deliver products and services to a community where zero waste and zero negative impact are the foundational guiding principles and long-term vision to everything we do – from product ideation to product disposal.

Relentless excellence

Excellence is a result of continuous learning from our IDARE community. At IDARE, we promote a flexible growth-mindset of embracing change and achieving excellence by continuously, positively disrupting the status quo.

Our BeDARE program

The BeDare program is an important pillar to our approach of how we want to give back and create a sustainable, just and inspiring ecosystem that benefits all.

The 'never walk alone' initiative

PluSport, one of IDARE’s valued partners, is leading the way in inclusive sports through the ground-breaking initiative.

Since 2015, never walk alone has been transforming the running landscape in Switzerland. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to make running events accessible to everyone – regardless of physical ability.

From elite athletes to passionate hobby runners, PluSport believes that no one should be left behind. That’s why they work hand-in-hand with race organizers across the country to embed inclusion at every level – planning, logistics, and on-the-ground execution. Whether it’s adapting race routes, providing specialized support, or fostering a welcoming atmosphere, they ensure that participants with disabilities can experience the thrill of the run, side by side with their peers.

In 2025, 16 major Swiss races proudly carry the Never Run Alone banner. This is just the beginning!

Why donate?

By supporting Never Run Alone, you are not just backing a program, you are investing in a movement. Your sponsorship helps:

Join us in rewriting the rules of running. Together, we can prove that sport is not about who finishes first – it is about who gets to start.

More information can be found here.

Every purchase makes a difference.

For every product you buy you can choose to contribute directly to the Never Run Alone initiative, make running  accessible to everyone. Let’s make a difference.

I DARE. We DARE. Are you DARE yet?
