Car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has joined multi-stakeholder organisation Leather Working Group (LWG), a move it describes as a “milestone for the leather industry”.
Andrea Debanne, chief sustainability officer at JLR, said: “Through becoming a member of the Leather Working Group, JLR can help promote the highest standards in leather production and sustainable development, in line with our Reimagine strategy, which aims to set benchmarks in environmental societal and community impact for a luxury business.
“This means committing to transparency, social responsibility and environmental stewardship, and ensuring full traceability in all our material sourcing, including leather.”
Its Reimagine strategy outlines a path to become a carbon net-zero business by 2039.
The group added its membership is a sign of its commitment to supporting the development of tools that drive improvement.
