Senior Prato figure points to different environmental priorities

17/02/2012
The president of the Prato Chamber of Commerce, Carlo Longo, has pointed out differences in the way textile companies in different parts of the world are addressing environmental challenges.

Speaking at the Première Vision event in Paris on February 15, the representative of businesses in Italy’s most famous textile town commented: “We see very distinct division in terms of environmental priorities. For people in northern Europe and North America, the environment is just a given; everything they look at has to be eco-friendly. It’s not that essential for other markets. Not everyone is going green at the same speed.”
