Footwear business not expected to be carbon neutral by 2050
Sustainability is becoming more of a real concern for businesses and inhabitants of this world. However, some claim this is just a fashion trend or a marketing tool. With that in mind we have asked our panel if the footwear industry will be able to be carbon neutral by 2050. Half of the respondents don’t believe that will happen
The European Union aims to be climate-neutral by 2050, with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. With this in mind, in this edition of the survey, we asked our experts to evaluate this carbon-neutrality objective regarding the footwear business in their countries.
More than a third of our respondents believe this target is going to be achieved by 2050, while 30% expect it to take longer to be reached. However, 20% of our experts consider that the footwear industry cannot achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by itself.
