The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an international, not-for-profit organisation working to improve the environmental impact of the leather supply chain through audit certification.
Our membership includes stakeholders from across the global leather industry, from leather manufacturers, to chemical suppliers, to major brands and retailers. The LWG membership plays a crucial role in developing our strategy through their input and engagement via meetings, advisory sub-groups and topical surveys.
LWG Executive Committee
The LWG Executive Committee is the governing body of the Leather Working Group, represented by members across different sectors of the leather industry. The Committee meets once a month and holds an annual Strategy Meeting yearly. Committee Members are democratically elected into their position by other companies in their sector, and they are expected to represent their interests accordingly. It is currently composed of four brands, four leather manufacturers, and one chemical supplier.
