Sustainability, ESG, Circular Economy, Nature Positive, Net Zero, Sustainable Development Goals \u2013 the list is long and includes concepts and frameworks. What they have in common is the aim: For a better world for everyone.<\/p>\n

All these ideas have another thing in common. They all recognize that we live in a complex interconnected and interdependent system and if we want to tackle global challenges, we need to work together.<\/p>\n

Climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution, are not only for governments to solve, but businesses are expected to do their part in actively changing an extractive, wasteful, and polluting economy and transform production and consumption patterns.<\/p>\n

The fashion and footwear industry is known to be among the ones where social and environmental standards need to evolve. Companies have to think about solutions to become more sustainable and to change their production patterns.<\/p>\n

According to the United Nations, sustainable development refers to fulfilling the needs of the current generation\u00a0<\/span>without compromising the needs of the future. This requires system thinking, understanding how environmental, social and governance dimensions are interconnected and interdependent.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A perfect example is the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations, which reflects the above-mentioned dimensions into 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals provide a shared blueprint for the world, covering people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership.<\/div>\n

The SDGs are unique as they are a call for action for everyone \u2013 nations, businesses, and individuals alike.<\/p>\n

Details of each SDG can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Traditionally in business shareholder interests used to be above all other interests. There is a fundamental shift going on, where businesses actions and decisions move from sole shareholder primacy into a broader approach, considering how the company impacts all stakeholders. Nowadays, companies are expected to step up and create values for all stakeholders*, not just shareholders.<\/p>\n

*Everyone who has a stake in the organization (customers<\/span>, suppliers, employees, investors, communities\u2026)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Means adjusting to present and future effects and reducing the impact of climate change, by avoiding carbon emissions. One example is to look into the supply chain and identify where raw materials or products are shipped to. Depending on the distance and the means of transport, emissions can be avoided by planning accordingly. Furthermore, companies need to assess the kind of energy they use (Renewable Energy) and implement energy efficient processes.<\/span><\/div>\n

This can be achieved through waste reduction, proper waste separation, conscious material use and fostering a circular economy. Shoes are part of the fast fashion industry; they are cheap and trendy. Occasional buying turned into seasonal buying. Shoes being much more affordable comes at a price for people who produce the shoes (cheap labor) and the environment (pollution \u2013 chemical and waste).<\/p>\n

The traditional product lifecycle of a pair of shoes is linear \u2013 take, make, dispose \u2013 and designed to be thrown away at the end of their life, creating a huge amount of waste.<\/p>\n

A circular economy in contrast, has a make, use, recycle\/repair and reuse mindset, touching as well unsustainable consumption patterns. In order to achieve this, we have to rethink how many different materials and colors we want our shoes to have. The more colorful and poly-material we go, the more harmful it will be for the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What can we do to tackle complex challenges?<\/p>\n

Applying system thinking would be the most important step. When we understand how things are interconnected and interdependent, we see the bigger picture and realize how our activities impact nature and humanity.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, collaboration is key. Sustainability challenges are global systemic challenges and can only be solved together. Therefore, SDG number 17, partnership for the goals, is crucial. We need cross-sector and cross-country collaboration if we want to achieve the 2030 Agenda.<\/p>\n
