Whether jerseys, cycling shorts or fan merchandise – according to the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, around eleven billion euros were spent on sportswear and shoes in Germany alone in 2020. However, less than one percent of sportswear traded worldwide comes from socially fair production. Sporting goods are therefore not only of key economic importance, their production also has a global impact on working conditions, water resources, biodiversity and climate change.
The healthcare system is committed to protecting and caring for people. This makes it all the more important to take responsibility when purchasing textiles: Sustainable purchasing practices help to establish fair working conditions and social standards in the textile industry and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental pollution.
This is exactly where we come in with our “Fair Wear Works” project. We sensitize representatives of the target groups to the relevance of the topic through educational offers and show them concrete steps they can take to make their purchasing more sustainable.
