2021 TSMA

31 Mr. Robbert de Kock WFSGI President and CEO It is a great pleasure to contribute towards TSMA’s yearly magazine. We are thrilled to continue our close-knit partnership with TSMA as we continue to inspire the sporting goods industry to col- laborate and introduce global solutions through international teamwork. During these unprecedented times in uncharted territories, the sporting goods industry has faced challenges not only affecting our business but also our lives. In result, the sporting goods in- dustry has had to react and this has caused us to become innovative in the development of all areas from sustainability, manufacturing and supply chain, digitalization and new technology, to work force, trade and legal solutions. The WFSGI is proud to stand alongside of TSMA as we are shaping the industry and adapting to this change. Today, there are numerous variables that are out of our control, however, there are ways where we can bring our influence and in result, impact how we operate our daily business. With enthusi- asm, TSMA is actively promoting the global sports movement and supporting WFSGI in our activi- ties in offering our members a platform to exchange information and opinions, providing insights on how to adapt in our fast-shifting world through innovation and new technologies and impacting the world through the power of sport. The WFSGI wishes to congratulate TSMA on their immense success and looks forward to another great year of collaboration through events and international teamwork. Thank you for your service in impacting our industry!
