Ecco impresses with employees' inspiring stories
12/04/2019
"Letting our employees tell their personal stories is both authentic and inspiring and will help position Ecco as much more than a great place to work," said Ecco's CEO, Steen Borgholm.
The three short films follow Caroline Wilson, the manager at Ecco's flagship store in London; Sirly, a quality controller in the Indonesian shoe factory; and Thomas Gøgsig, head of applied research.
Mr Gøgsig said he asks himself questions such as: "Can we skip thousands of years of tradition by not using water in our tanneries? Can we bring new properties to a very ancient material, such as leather? Can our products become 100% biodegradable?"
He added: "Our founder believed Ecco should live in the future. I'm trying to further his vision by bringing innovation to reality with a constant focus on the footprint we leave behind."
New York Festivals TV & Film Awards honours film productions from over 50 countries, and Ecco was shortlisted with nine other finalists.
