How to take the environment seriously in tough industries – Example from Emma Safety Footwear.

They had already implemented many sustainable improvements in their manufacturing processes & supply chain. But, lacked measurable environmental insights on the effectiveness of these initiatives. So –  they measured the environmental footprint of their shoes with Ecochain Mobius.

To find out about how and what they discovered we had a chat with Iris van Wanrooij, the Program Manager of CSR, at EMMA Safety Footwear.

In the episode: 

• How do they approach innovation in materials used in their products;
• How material choices can impact the entire environmental footprint of your product;
• What can measuring the use phase of products tell us;
• And why measuring FIRST is crucial to making real sustainable improvements in your products.
