SATRA’s ‘Introduction to Footwear Sustainability’ course will be held twice in the UK during 2024. This programme has been created for everyone working for a brand, sourcing company, retailer or manufacturer within the footwear supply chain, and will benefit team members looking to understand the key sustainability challenges facing the industry and how to tackle them. The course will provide an insight into several key aspects of sustainability within the footwear industry:
- what sustainability is and why it is important
- how supply chains operate
- the meaning of an ‘organisational carbon footprint’ and how it is calculated
- what a ‘product lifecycle assessment’ and a ‘carbon footprint’ are, how a study can be conducted, and where the data comes from
- how to understand and reduce environmental impacts throughout the product lifecycle
- a detailed review of the environmental considerations of leather and other bio-based materials
- current obligations under sustainability-related legislation, and what the future holds in this regard
- an introduction to restricted substances management
- the testing and verification of a product’s sustainability credentials.
The ‘Introduction to Footwear Sustainability’ course is scheduled for Thursday 13th June and Thursday 17th October 2024. These events are reserved for SATRA members only and will be held at SATRA's UK headquarters in Kettering. Please email training@satra.com or visit our website at www.satra.com/training to reserve a place on this course or to discuss your training needs. In addition, please contact us if you would like to arrange a bespoke course to be conducted at an alternative location – for example, in your company's own offices.
