Sam Carew, Co-Founder of Elliott Footwear / Carbon Positive Sneakers

Meet elliott, the footwear brand with a climate agenda reinventing the footwear industry. They're taking sustainability to the next level with upcycled, vegan, and 100% cruelty-free products with a climate-positive impact. Founded in Copenhagen, elliott footwear is a brand with a minimalistic approach to style and impact on the planet. The brand was born out of a desperate need to act and a heart for environmental change. Following extensive research and implementation, elliott launched the world's first climate positive sneaker collection in September 2018 and has since become a member of the UNFCCC climate change initiative. Inspired by Danish design, global art, elegant architecture and contemporary culture, they combine ready-to-wear everyday footwear with climate action and a continued journey towards a sustainable profile.
