Pu.Ro. Joins ZDHC’s Roadmap to Zero: A Strategic Commitment to Sustainable Chemical Management
Excellence and innovation have always been at the heart of everything we do. In today’s global context, we firmly believe that excellence must go hand in hand with sustainability. Environmental responsibility is no longer optional: it is a corporate imperative.
Joining the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero initiative marks an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.
What is ZDHC and Why Does It Matter?
The ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) programme is a global initiative that brings together stakeholders from across the fashion and footwear value chain – brands, chemical formulator and supplier – with a shared goal: to eliminate hazardous chemicals from industrial processes.
Through harmonized guidelines, practical tools and dedicated training, ZDHC promotes best practices in chemical safety, transparency and traceability. Becoming a member means embracing not only operational changes, but also a cultural shift to protect the environment, workers’ health and consumers.
A Choice Aligned with Our Core Values
We operate in the footwear industry with the goal of combining quality, innovation and responsibility. Adopting the ZDHC framework is a natural step on our path to reducing environmental impact and building a more sustainable supply chain.
Our decision to join the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero reflects our core values:
✅ Environmental responsibility
✅ Commitment to chemical safety
✅ Collaboration with a global network of forward-thinking partners
✅ Transparency in manufacturing processes
Our Commitments as ZDHC Contributors
By joining the ZDHC programme, we pledge to:
✅ Reduce the environmental impact of our production by using chemicals in compliance with the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL)
✅ Enhance the safety and traceability of the chemicals we use
✅ Support a broader cultural shift within the footwear industry
✅ Provide our customers more sustainable products
Leading the Change Towards a Zero-Impact Future
The footwear industry is undergoing a great transformation. Consumers are demanding greater transparency, regulations are tightening and businesses are being called upon to take real responsibility.
With this decision, we’re not just keeping pace with change. We’re striving to lead it. We are committed to taking proactive, measurable and collective action.
We recognize that the road ahead is complex, but it’s also essential. Our participation in the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero is just the beginning. Every day, we will continue working to reduce our impact and to help make footwear manufacturing safer, cleaner and more sustainable.
In the months ahead, we’ll keep our stakeholders and customers informed of our progress. We firmly believe that the future of our industry depends on transparency, collaboration, and a shared commitment to protecting the planet.
Follow us as we continue this journey, sharing milestones, new goals, and real impact. Together, we can create a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable footwear industry.
