SLF and ALLPI partner for sustainable leather
The Sustainable Leather Foundation (SLF) has announced a new partnership with the Africa Leather and Leather Products Institute (ALLPI).
This collaboration aims to promote sustainable practices within the leather industry, particularly across Africa. SLF's Managing Director, Deborah Taylor, emphasised the importance of this partnership in supporting the leather industry’s environmental and socio-economic responsibilities. She highlighted the role of African nations in driving sustainability efforts, with SLF providing training, assessments, and audits for ALLPI members.
ALLPI’s Executive Director, Nicholas Mudungwe, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, noting the shared commitment to advancing sustainability in the leather sector. He underscored the value of SLF’s contributions in enhancing performance within Africa's leather industry.
ALLPI, established in 1990 and headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, works across 10 African countries. SLF, founded in 2020, focuses on sustainability through its transparency dashboard and certification framework.
Both organisations are dedicated to improving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards in the global leather value chain.
