Italy Footwear Manufacturers Association Calls For Mandatory Labeling Of Country Of Origin
Cleto Sagripant, chairman of the Italy Footwear Manufacturers Association (Assocalzaturifici), finally asked the Italy government to persuade the European Commission to give final approval to the new label of the country of origin.
At present, in European Union countries, manufacturers and brand enterprises have no obligation to tell consumers where their shoes are produced.
Some big brand companies are pushing this kind of practice, because not revealing the origin of shoes can help hide the fact that they are produced in low cost countries and increase the price of products.
Despite the pressure, they are selling in Europe.

It is necessary to show that the rules of origin of leather products and other products have made progress at the beginning of this year.

This action is part of its commitment to the green peace organization's initiative to eliminate 100% of all perfluorocarbon compounds (PFCs) from products before the end of 2017.
PFCs is used in clothing and footwear manufacturing processes to maintain their antifouling and water repellency.

Detox launched the detoxification campaign launched in 2011. The environmental pressure group Greenpeace has constantly appealed to international clothing brands to remove harmful chemicals from their supply chains and products before 2020.
"Puma's statement said that the company is seriously implementing its commitment to detoxification.
A detailed action plan for phasing out dangerous chemicals and public emissions data is another major step towards non-toxic and no future. "
Manfred Santen, Germany's Greenpeace initiative, says Detox.
Puma also promised to publish its global 80% suppliers' emission data by the end of 2014.
Greenpeace points out that Puma's commitment exceeds Adidas. The products promised by June (2014) in June reached 99% without PFCs, while the progress of Nike was far behind, and there was no plan to eliminate harmful chemicals before 2020.
"Puma is worthy of its" forever ahead "corporate slogan, once again leading in the sports apparel industry.
Now how can Nike and Lining fulfill their commitment to consumers? "
Santen says.
