Brazil introduces sustainable shoe certification
21/01/2013
Manufacturers that meet a series of social, environmental, cultural and economic criteria will earn the right to display Sustainable Origin Programme certification on their shoes and marketing material.
Different levels of certification will be available: white, bronze, silver, gold and, finally, diamond. White will be for companies that have marked out a sustainability programme, but have not yet put it into practice. Bronze will be for companies that have begun to live out their commitment to sustainability, but still have substantial improvements to make.
From silver onwards, companies will be subjected to external audits, probably once every two years. Those showing the highest levels of good practice will achieve gold and diamond levels.
