BAAR, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / August 05, 2026 / SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to host a complimentary webinar, 'Driving Decarbonization and ESG Performance in Softlines Supply Chains Through Life Cycle Assessment and Product Environmental Footprint,' on August 26, 2026.
As an industry known for its resource-intensive nature, the textile and footwear sector is under increasing pressure to improve supply chain transparency and sustainability. Regulators, brands, investors and consumers are placing greater emphasis on credible environmental performance data, lower-carbon products and responsible supply chain practices.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) and the EU's Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) framework are explored in this webinar. As essential tools for measuring, verifying and communicating product-level environmental performance, they can assist companies in navigating shifting obligations and competitive markets, providing credible, data-driven solutions.
The webinar will provide practical insights into regulatory, brand and market expectations, enabling a greater understanding of how to meet sustainability mandates, support decarbonization initiatives and differentiate products through LCA and PEF.
This event is aimed at softlines brands, manufacturers, suppliers and sales and client-facing teams seeking to understand how LCA and PEF services can help navigate evolving regulatory requirements, meet brand sustainability mandates and differentiate products in an increasingly carbon-conscious marketplace.
This event takes place on August 26, 2026, with a one-hour session at 10:00 am repeated at 4:30 pm (Central European Summer Time).
Stakeholders interested in learning how LCA and PEF can support supply chain decarbonization and ESG performance are invited to register for this webinar.
