Pangea reports progress on emissions, waste and certifications
21/05/2025
The company reports a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2021, achieved through energy optimisation and solar projects at sites in South Africa, Mexico and Germany. At its León plant, all waste from leather shaving operations is now repurposed into bio stimulants and biopolymers.
All of its sites have received gold ratings from the Leather Working Group. Supplier ESG compliance has improved through collaboration with platforms such as NQC and EcoVadis.
Two new materials—Verita and Pulvera—feature metal-free coatings and upcycled content to support circularity and material transparency. It has also achieved Oeko-Tex Class 1 certification for automotive leather.
“As automotive customers seek to decarbonise their supply chains, our work in traceability, energy efficiency and responsible chemistry proves that leather can—and should—be part of a sustainable solution,” said global director of sustainability and innovation Roger Pinto.
