Setting standards, recognising best practice, driving positive impact
Leather Working Group sets Audit Standards for leather manufacturers to be assessed and certified – this recognises best practice and drives improvements in the industry. Over a third of global finished leather production is assessed using the LWG Audit Standard.
Our organisation
Leather Working Group is a multi-stakeholder organisation that includes brands, leather manufacturers, industry suppliers, and affiliate organisations.
We are driven by a common objective to continually drive continuous improvement in the leather industry. To that end, the LWG standards are constantly evolving with active engagement and expert input from our stakeholders.
Collaboration and consultation also enable us to support broader initiatives such as the critical topics of traceability and deforestation due diligence within the value chain.
