Sustainability
E-commerce is the collective transportation of goods - smart, resource-efficient, and sustainable. However, Footway's ambitions go far beyond that. At the core of its operations, strategy, and vision, Footway focuses on sustainability and transforming the industry towards less waste and lower error rates. By making its vast amount of consumer behavioral data available to manufacturers, Footway indirectly empowers consumers to influence the products that are produced and will be available to them in the future. The clear and rapid feedback from Footway's platform in planning, product development, and manufacturing enables suppliers and partners to reduce returns, waste, and inefficiency.
Carbon neutral
Our logistics partner DHL works with transparency, minimization of emissions and carbon offsets. Together with DHL Express, Footway invests in climate protection projects in different regions around the world.
Reduce scrap
Products returned to Footway undergo rigorous quality control. Only flawless products are sold again and sent to customers. To ensure that other returns and complaints are also taken care of in a sustainable and financially efficient way, Footway sells these products in collaboration with Sellpy. This way the products get a new home. Since the partnership with Sellpy in 2019, we have together saved 300 tonnes of CO2 and 40 million liters of water and sold almost 13,000 pairs of shoes.
recycling
FTI works with sustainable recycling of packaging and newspapers. Through Footway's collaboration with FTI, our packaging is taken care of in a sustainable way. We pay for the recycling of everything we produce and 80% of our packaging becomes new packaging.
Hardware reuse
Inrego is working with reusing and extending the life of IT equipment. Through Footway's collaboration with Inrego, we increase the lifespan of the IT products we use in our operations. By renovating and reselling, Inrego guarantees at least 1 year longer service life for our old IT products.
Office recycling
Returab collects and recycles residual products from offices - paper, hazardous waste, electronics, packaging, glass and metal, etc. Together with Returab, Footway takes care of waste and residual products. By transforming waste into a useful and valuable resource, we reduce our climate footprint.
Solar energy
Our eco-friendly warehouses utilize solar panels for 30%-50% of their energy needs. This sustainable approach reduces our carbon footprint and promotes renewable practices. By harnessing the power of the sun, we prioritize clean energy and strive for a greener future.
Footway Group and Milkywire believe in supporting and protecting Indigenous Peoples and others living close to nature. This is why the organizations we are supporting all are locally rooted and working to protect land, culture, flora and fauna.
