Another tannery joins CSCB initiative
08/05/2017
The leather processed at Gobba’s facility is primarily destined for use in the furniture, automotive and footwear sectors.
Brazil’s main industry body in Brazil, CICB, unveiled the sustainability certification programme in 2013 before fully launching the initiative in 2015. Audits examining 173 different indicators are carried out by Brazil’s National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro), following which tanners can obtain bronze, silver, gold and diamond certification. They assess what CICB calls the three pillars of sustainability - economics, the environment and social responsibility.
