• 5:00 p.m. – Innovative materials in the footwear sector
• 5:30 p.m. – Regulatory developments from an ESG perspective
• 6:00 p.m. – Responsible communication and the risks of greenwashing
This will be followed by a networking cocktail to stimulate new synergies between companies, designers, start-ups and professionals in the sector.
“With FHEEL TALK, we want to focus on the value of responsible innovation, opening a discussion between all players in the supply chain. For us, sustainability means concreteness, transparency and a culture of change”, says Silvia Paganini, Chief Marketing Officer at Tacchificio Villa Cortese. “It is not just an event, but an invitation to build a more conscious vision of the future together.”
FHEEL TALK represents a further step in the sustainable transformation already undertaken by Tacchificio Villa Cortese, which has long invested in research and development, digitalisation and product traceability as a strategic lever to enhance the excellence of Made in Italy.
