Our Story
The story of Steps began thousands of miles away, as Steffen Westlund traveled through remote regions of Sumatra, Indonesia.
During his journey, he witnessed the heartbreaking reality of deforestation. Vast areas of forest had been cut down, and indigenous communities had been left with nothing.
With a background in health, Steffen began to explore ways to unify individual wellness with the well-being of our planet.
I had always been an advocate of daily walks. It's such a simple way to improve physical and mental health. I remember thinking - What if we could inspire people to move more, by turning their steps into trees?
"
"
And so, Steps was born with a clear mission - to make people and planet healthier, one step at a time.
Today, we empower companies and employees in over 10 countries to walk, run and hike with purpose.
"We hear numerous stories from employees who transformed their health through daily walks or runs. Knowing that their steps makes a lasting impact was the motivation they needed."
And as the number of our partner companies grows, so do the forests. Places once devoid of green in Indonesia and Madagascar, are now filling up with young mangrove trees, signifying the power of collective movement.
