European NGOs, including HEJSupport, are concerned about the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology as introduced by the EU Commission.
We believe there is a risk that the PEF-CR for apparel and footwear will give a limited and unholistic picture of product impact. As such, it is our view that the PEF-CR for apparel and footwear should not be used as a standalone method for underpinning labelling, green claims made in marketing, or any other EU policy measures announced as part of the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles.
