Sustainable leather, shown in practice.
Our parent group’s tanneries put sustainability into how leather is made. These are the measures behind it, and the stories that explain them.
Our approach
Four areas, each with evidence.
Water
Zero liquid discharge and ZDHC MRSL requirements at the group’s tanneries.
Energy
Group operations draw on the group’s own solar and wind generation.
Chemistry
Leather tested to a consolidated restricted substances list, with reports per article.
Responsible leather
LWG Gold-rated tanneries, with ISO 14001 and Higg FEM verification.
Group tannery certificates and factory documentation are available to buyers on request.
Stories
Sustainability stories.
Plain-language guides to what these measures mean.
Zero liquid discharge, explained simply
What it means when a tannery sends no liquid effluent outside its site, and why it matters.
Where the energy comes from: solar and wind in leather making
Tanning takes energy. Here is why the source of that energy matters.
RSL and MRSL: how chemistry is controlled in leather
Two lists, two jobs: one checks the finished leather, the other controls what goes into making it.
Traceability: knowing where your leather began
From product to tannery to hide: what traceability means and what you can ask for.
From hide to leather: how tanning works
The journey from raw hide to finished leather, in plain language.
What LWG Gold-rated tanneries mean for leather goods buyers
Why the tannery behind your leather matters, and what to ask any supplier about sourcing.
Standards
