Taking place at a pivotal moment as the EU embarks on its next five years of governance, the FESI high-level conference offers a vital opportunity to engage with newly appointed decision-makers, showcase the sector’s contributions to sustainable practices, and promote the adoption of FESI’s Manifesto recommendations. This year’s event holds even greater significance as it follows the adoption of the majority of major EU Green Deal legislations impacting the sporting goods industry. These legislations are now transitioning into their application and implementation phases. The conference arrives at the perfect time to address the need for clarity and simplification, as certain overlaps and administrative burdens among the new rules pose significant challenges for the industry.
