EMMA SAFETY FOOTWEAR IS WORKING TOWARDS THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY...

INNOVATION NEVER STOPS

Every pair of EMMA safety shoes is fitted with a unique QR code. This allows us to link each pair of shoes to the user and this paves the way for new services and flows of information.

When users scan the QR code with the special EMMA app they can already see a factsheet with a summary of all materials that have been used in the shoe. All these materials have been chosen for their durability and environmental safety. A future application is specified for every material.

That way, thinking about safety and sustainability is interwoven. Both aspects effectively reinforce each other in the continued search for better safety shoes.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

More and more companies advocate sustainable entrepreneurship. EMMA has made a practical contribution to the goals of companies in this area by being the first in the world to offer circular safety shoes, including reverse logistics.

Since 2019, the entire range is produced entirely from recyclable materials. By using circular shoes, customers help use raw materials and energy responsibly, while at the same time workers can work safely.

In this regard, we are helping achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals that must be achieved worldwide by 2030.

EMMA has selected three primary goals from among the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as target goals for its own organisation. Of course, EMMA is also striving to achieve the other SDGs.
