Sustainability at pedag®

	Sustainability since 1955 Sustainability is a journey and it takes long time and effort to get there. For almost 70 years pedag® has been the global leader in making sustainable insoles and shoe care products from natural eco friendly materials. We aspire to be the one of the most eco friendly insoles and shoe care company. Sustainability adds cost and time to production however our commitment remains strong.
	Natural Eco Friendly Materials We use high quality, durable natural raw materials in our products – for a natural foot health and the environment. pedag® prefers the use of natural materials from renewable resources and sustainable management philosophy today to ensure a cleaner environment for the future. Most others brands insoles are made from cheap synthetics.
	Eco Friendly Shoe Care We use natural raw materials like lanolin, carnauba and bee's waxes. These materials are environmentally friendly and have well known shoe care benefits. Sustainability and environmental protection are key issues for pedag®. With that in mind, we developed world's first eco-friendly shoe care line: waterproofer, deodorant, cleaner and conditioner and give priority to water-based. 100% free of solvents Biodegradable 100% free of Fluorcarbon (PFC) Safe for indoor use
	Conversion of the fleet to green electricity We are planning to run 50 % of our vehicles on electricity powered by our own photo-voltaic solar panel system.
	Non-Toxic Water Based Adhesives Using harsh toxic chemical glues in manufacturing is regrettably common. That is why many leading insoles brands have strong out-of-the-box chemical smell. Imagine workers inhaling such toxins every day for entire shift or impact on your skin. At pedag® we only use safe water based adhesives for safety of our workers and customers. It takes more time and costs more to use water based adhesives.
	Reduced impact by pedag® packaging We working towards making pedag® insole packaging free of plastic and to use renewable materials.
