European Green Deal will help leather companies become more competitive

23/09/2019
Head of the European Commission’s emerging and creative industries, Anna Athanasopoulou, has said Europe’s textile, leather and fashion companies, including the many small and medium enterprises in the sector, are “at the forefront of the transition to more sustainable modes of production and consumption”.

Speaking at the recent Sustainable Leather Forum in Paris, Ms Athanasopoulou said there is an opportunity to further enhance European competitiveness by continuing to go down this route.

She said the new European Commission that is just beginning work following elections earlier this year, will introduce new measures in the coming months as part of a wider initiative it is calling the European Green Deal.
