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 & transparencyIncreased knowledge & access to dataImproved resource efficiency in leather productionReduced waste generation and emissions to the environmentImproved chemical management and increased use of non-hazardous chemicalsIncreased deforestation and animal welfare due diligenceImproved working conditions and fair treatment of workers
提高供应链的可追溯性和透明度
增加知识和数据访问提高皮革生产的资源效率
减少废物产生和环境排放改善化学品管理并
增加无害化学品的使用加强森林砍伐和动物福利尽职调查
改善工作条件并公平对待工人
