Streamlined rules on reporting sustainability welcomed by FESI

28/02/2025

The Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry (FESI) has expressed support for European Commission efforts “to streamline sustainability reporting”.  

FESI said the Commission’s commitment would “improve regulatory clarity and reduce administrative burdens for businesses”, while maintaining progress toward a sustainable future.

“It is crucial that regulatory changes do not introduce new legal obligations that could increase compliance costs, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs),” said FESI secretary general, Jérôme Pero. FESI pointed out that SMEs make up nearly 75% of its members.

FESI will host a conference focused on clarifying and simplifying sustainability rules in Brussels on March 20. The package of measures that the European Commission now aims to introduce will be part of the discussion.
