A new issue of the Leatherbiz Market Intelligence fortnightly newsletter, with our exclusive Leather Pipeline report on the leather supply chain, went live on the website on June 8.

The report claims that the wider leather industry has “lacked the courage” to make its sustainability credentials clear and to highlight the many excellent examples that tanners and finished product manufacturers across the world provide.

It warns that the industry must find ways to present its case more effectively in the face of ongoing attacks on leather from groups, including those that oppose livestock-farming and the consumption of meat. “Leather remains a central target for these movements,” the report says.
