n an ambitious stride towards sustainable innovation, the British Footwear Association (BFA) is gearing up for its second annual Sustainability Summit. Following the resounding success of its inaugural event last year, the 2024 summit, set for 17 April at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, aims to explore further into the themes and discussions that have sparked interest and inspiration in the footwear industry.
The BFA’s Sustainability Summit is quickly establishing itself as a crucial forum for addressing the pressing environmental issues facing the footwear sector. This year, the focus will be on building upon the foundations laid during the first Summit. The agenda is set to explore more profound and nuanced aspects of sustainability, addressing both the achievements and the challenges that lie ahead.
