Start your journey to LWG certification
Your business may be certified if you manufacture or trade leather. Since 2005, we have designed standards to certify all actors in the supply chain, from rawhide to finished leather, covering micro-enterprises to large tanneries. In fact, the majority of our certified suppliers are small leather manufacturers.
If your business is a leather manufacturer, leather trader, commissioning manufacturer, or subcontractor, your organisation may be eligible to be audited against the applicable LWG audit standard. (The Leather Working Group audit standards do not allow the auditing and certification of any facility which process or trades in fur.) In order to gain certification, your business will need to be audited by an LWG Approved Auditor.
LWG标准（Leather Working Group Standard）是由国际皮革工作组织（Leather Working Group, LWG）制定的一套管理体系，旨在评估制革商的合规标准和环境管理措施，促进皮革行业的可持续发展和生态环境的供应链管理。LWG成立于2005年，其认证标准涵盖了从原料到成品的整个供应链，确保各环节符合环保要求。
LWG标准的核心内容
LWG标准主要包括以下几个方面：
节能、减碳、环保、管理：LWG认证重点在于评估制革商在这些方面的表现，推动行业的可持续发展1。审核范围：标准适用于皮革制造商、贸易商、委托制造商及分包商，确保整个供应链的环保要求得到满足
We understand your business
At Leather Working Group, we know ‘one standard’ doesn’t fit all. So, that’s why we designed four audit standards to meet the assessment needs of different operations within the leather production chain. These four LWG standards cover raw material traders through to leather manufacturers and subcontractors, to traders of finished material:
