Brother Industrial EMEA Partners with FESPA Foundation and Neutral to Drive Sustainable Social Impact at FESPA 2026
Brother Industrial EMEA has announced its renewed partnership with the FESPA Foundation to champion waste reduction and deliver meaningful social impact at the FESPA 2026 exhibition in Barcelona.
By combining advanced industrial printing technology with a resolute commitment to global sustainability, Brother will live-print children’s sports shirts throughout the event.
These garments will subsequently be donated to schools in South Africa, providing essential activewear to youth living in challenging circumstances.
The global textile and printing sectors are currently at a critical juncture, facing mounting pressure to reduce waste and adopt circular economic models.
To ensure the highest social, ethical, and environmental standards are maintained across the entire value chain, the sports shirts for this project are exclusively sponsored by Neutral® Certified Responsibility™.
As a leading producer of certified sustainable apparel and accessories for the business-to-business market, Neutral® provides a transparent supply chain model.
This partnership perfectly aligns with Brother’s own operational ethos, underscoring a shared dedication to corporate social responsibility and rigorous environmental stewardship.
The company is actively calling upon industry peers and event attendees in Barcelona to witness the live production process, illustrating firsthand how purpose-driven technology, sustainability, and social responsibility can seamlessly come together to make a real difference in everyday school life.
