Our Impact

Since 2005, the LWG Leather Manufacturer Audit Standard has been the cornerstone of our work, assessing the environmental impact of leather production. Over time, our scope has grown to be holistic, with increased importance in key impact areas within the leather supply chain. As an organisation, we aim to have a positive impact on the environment, as well as communities, through driving:

Increased supply chain traceability & transparency
Increased knowledge & access to data
Improved resource efficiency in leather production
Reduced waste generation and emissions to the environment
Improved chemical management and increased use of non-hazardous chemicals
Increased due diligence on the issues of deforestation and animal welfare
Improved working conditions and fair treatment of workers
