Setting standards, recognising best practice, driving positive impact
LWG sets Audit Standards against which leather manufacturers and traders can be assessed and certified. It is central to our objective of measuring and recognising best practice and driving improvements in the leather industry. Over a third of global finished leather production is assessed and certified against the LWG Audit Standard.
