World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry has invited members of the bicycling industry to a presentation at Eurobike in Friedrichshafen, Germany to discuss the rising demands for corporate responsibility in the social and environmental spheres.
“I am convinced that the WFSGI can support to create synergies on Corporate Responsibility within the global bicycle industry by combining the assessment, follow-up and monitoring of our suppliers to dedicated professionals working for an independent company in this field,” said Jeroen Snijders-Blok, COO Accell Group and Executive Board WFSGI. “This is a unique opportunity to join forces on CR. We are responsible but not able to act accordingly as individual companies.”
