CSCB gold for JBS Couros unit
17/10/2019
Announced in 2012, CSCB is a sustainability certification programme. Detailed criteria cover four “dimensions of sustainability” that the programme has identified: sustainability management, as well as economic, environmental and social aspects.
There are four levels of certification that tanners can achieve, depending on how many of the criteria they fulfil. Provided they meet at least 50% of the indicators, they can earn bronze certification. Silver is for those meeting 75%, gold 90% and diamond 100% of the criteria.
In 2018, three companies, Fuga Couros, Curtume Courovale and Mats Beneficiamento de Couros, earned CSCB gold awards. JBS Couros’ facility in Marabá in Pará state has now become the fourth leather manufacturer to achieve this accolade, and the first dedicated manufacturer of wet blue to do so.
JBS Couros has 7,300 employees and 21 production units around the world, 15 of them in Brazil. The Marabá is the first in the group to complete the CSCB certification process, but the group said last year that all of its Brazilian tanneries will follow.
