Geneva (November 5, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is proud to host a complimentary webinar, ‘Enhancing sustainability claims and brand reputation in the textile and footwear industry’, on November 25, 2025.
Regulators have responded to public concern and consumer demand for sustainability in the textiles and footwear industry by introducing stricter requirements, placing pressure on businesses to ensure credible claims and avoid misleading advertising. While this can be challenging and requires expert knowledge, meeting these requirements also presents opportunities to build consumer trust.
This webinar explores the latest trends impacting sustainability in the industry, providing insights into the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology. Presenters Evelyn Ma and Frank Kempe will also provide an introduction to the SGS green marks covering preferred materials, which enable brands to gain a competitive advantage in global markets through trusted certification or verification, and present case studies to illustrate best practices and common pitfalls.
For companies looking for insights into the latest regulatory trends, this webinar leverages SGS’s experience and knowledge for a better understanding of key sustainability developments in the industry.
This webinar is ideal for professionals across the textile, apparel and footwear industries, including designers, product developers, quality assurance specialists, sustainability experts, compliance managers and marketing teams from brands, retailers and manufacturers.
