The footwear industry, often overlooked in decarbonization discussions, is a major contributor to global CO₂ emissions, exceeding that of some countries. The shift towards sustainability is being driven by regulations, consumer demand for transparency, and the need for climate resilience. Innovations like On's LightSpray technology, which reduces waste and emissions by 75% compared to traditional methods, exemplify the industry's potential for transformation. This indicates a significant movement towards environmentally responsible production methods that could reshape the entire sector.
The footwear industry is estimated to be responsible for hundreds of millions of metric tons of CO₂e emissions each year—more than the emissions of some entire countries.
Today, some of the most forward-thinking brands are applying that same creative energy to impact, tackling not just how to build better shoes for us but also how to build them better for the planet.
