Leather Working Group (LWG) is a global not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving the environmental impact of the leather supply chain through audit certification.

Our diverse stakeholder group spans the entire leather industry, including leather manufacturers, chemical suppliers, major brands, and retailers. Stakeholders actively shape our strategy by contributing through meetings, advisory sub-groups, and topical surveys, ensuring a collaborative and impactful approach to sustainability.

Executive Committee

LWG is governed by an elected Board of stakeholder representatives, that provides balanced and independent oversight of the organisation. The Board representatives are made up of four tanneries, four brands and one supplier. Each is elected for a term of four years and may stand for reelection for a second term, after which they must stand down.
