A positive step
Footway Group is using the power of its community to reduce its environmental impact and support projects on Milkywire.
Small footprint - Big impact
Footway Group is encouraging its industry to produce better-designed and higher-quality products. Shoes that are rarely returned or complained about will be awarded Community Approved status and thereby help support environmental initiatives. This is to encourage the entire supply chain to step up to ensure less waste and unnecessary shipping.
