24/09/2018
The central theme for the event, which comes under the umbrella of the Brazilian Leather Sustainability Certification (CSCB) programme, will be: ‘What is the Return on Investing in Sustainability?’
The main sponsors for this year’s Sustainability Forum are JBS Couros and Química Carioca. It will take place at the SENAI Institute of Technology in Leather and the Environment, which CICB has described as “a world reference in research and training for professionals in the tannery industry”.
Topics to be addressed during the event include:
• Challenges for leather in a hyper-connected world;
• Leather and sustainable design in the furniture industry;
• The environmental footprint of leather;
• An expanding market: certified leather and sustainability.
"This year's programme includes highly representative personalities from the national and international field, which should promote a rich dialogue between markets and deep reflection on the paths of our sector in both domestic consumption and exports," said José Fernando Bello, executive president of CICB.
