Sustainable Leather Forum takes place in Paris
France’s main leather industry association, the Conseil National du Cuir (CNC), successfully organised the first Sustainable Leather Forum in Paris on September 16.

An audience of leather industry professionals, designers and senior representatives from luxury leathergoods brands packed into the headquarters of the French Public Works Federation in central Paris to hear talks covering developments in sustainability across the whole of the leather supply chain, from livestock farming to finished products.

CNC president, Frank Boehly, said at the start of the event: “The aim today is to talk about our companies, the companies in the leather supply chain. Leather is the oldest example there is of recycling and upcycling. We take hides and skins and make this wonderful material, leather, than can then be used to make countless finished products.”
