President of France’s Conseil National du Cuir, Frank Boehly, has presented a new white paper on corporate, social responsibility (CSR) in the leather industry. 

With changes in public attitudes towards animal wellbeing and environmental management, Mr Boehly said he hoped the white paper would help consumers understand the circular nature of the leather sector. 

The white paper points out that leather production is part of a value chain that meets the demands of anti-waste legislation that came into force in France in 2020. After the food industry processes an animal for meat, everything from hide to hooves is processed, with applications in a wide range of sectors, including pet food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
