Walheim, The traditional shoe manufacturer Sioux from the Swabian town of Walheim was recognized as being particularly sustainable in the “Sustainability Champions” study carried out on behalf of WELT in the “Shoe Manufacturers” category.
The cooperation partners ServiceValue GmbH and DIE WELT evaluated which companies act particularly sustainably using 288,000 consumer ratings for 1,163 companies from 76 sectors. Sustainably committed – a predicate that is now a decisive criterion for many consumers and is highly valued. DIE WELT evaluated a brand’s environmental awareness using the “Sustainability Awareness Score” (SAS). With an SAS of 2.70, Sioux took first place out of a total of 24 shoe manufacturers and qualified as the sustainability winner in its industry.
Lewin Berner, Sioux CEO explains: “As a small medium-sized company, we are particularly pleased about this award. This shows that it is not size, but innovation and a special focus on our customers and their needs that are decisive. We traditionally work with a special focus on the topic of sustainability and are pleased that this is also recognized by our customers. It makes me proud and is great praise for my team, our products and our direction”.
