Adidas nears target of using only LWG silver or gold tanneries

08/05/2013
German sportswear group adidas has published its sustainability report for 2012 in which it says it is near its target of using only silver or gold-rated tanneries (of those based outside Europe) by 2015.

About 79% of the leather adidas buys from outside Europe is now from tanneries certified to gold standard by the Leather Working Group (LWG), around 20% is from silver-certified tanneries and 1% is from bronze-certified ones. This means it is 1% away from the 2015 target.

It is also aiming to source 85% of product from gold-rated tanneries by 2015.

The LWG is a multi-stakeholder group that assesses the environmental performance of tanneries.
