Driving Decarbonization and ESG Performance in Softlines Supply Chains Through Life Cycle Assessment and Product Environmental Footprint

The need for urgent decarbonization is aligning governments, industries and consumers as climate change intensifies. For the textile and footwear industry in particular, one of the world's most resource-intensive sectors, the move toward low-carbon products and increased transparency has created pressure across the entire value chain to ensure consumer and regulatory expectations are met.

This webinar introduces life cycle assessment (LCA) and the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) framework for softlines supply chains. These science-based tools measure environmental impact across the full product lifecycle, drive supply chain decarbonization and strengthen environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance in response to tightening global regulations and growing market demand for low-carbon products.

Attendees will gain practical insights into regulatory, brand and market expectations related to LCA and PEF and learn how these frameworks support supply chain decarbonization and ESG goals.

Agenda

• Global trends in the fight against climate change
• LCA and PEF
• How LCA drives supply chain decarbonization and ESG performance
• How supply chain management can enhance LCA performance
• Q&A

Who should attend?

This webinar is aimed at softlines brands, manufacturers, suppliers, and sales and client-facing teams seeking to understand how LCA and PEF services can help navigate evolving regulatory requirements, meet brand sustainability mandates and differentiate products in an increasingly carbon-conscious marketplace.
