WFSGI’s devotion to social responsibility attracts Asian manufacturer

18/04/2016
Hong Kong-based sports and outdoor apparel manufacturer KTC has become a member of the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry (WFSGI).

The World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry based in Bern (Switzerland) is the representative organization for the global sports industry. It is an independent federation consisting of sports and sports inspired brands, manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, national and regional associations, industry and business associations as well as a whole range of different companies related to sport.

KTC’s chief executive, Gerhard Flatz, said at the time of the announcement that one of the characteristics of WFSGI that attracted him is that it devotes a great deal of attention to corporate social responsibility. He said this makes the organisation “refreshingly different from other associations” because its approach is less “reactive”.
