Five leather projects in first Regenerative Fund for Nature report
Luxury group Kering has published an inaugural impact report for an initiative called the Regenerative Fund for Nature. The inaugural report covers activity in 2024.
Kering launched the initiative in partnership with specialist nature protection campaign group Conservation International in 2021. Their aim was to offer grants to farmers, campaign groups and other stakeholders involved in regenerative agriculture.
Through this, they said they wanted to help transform land on which four raw materials are produced; these materials are cotton, wool, cashmere and leather.
In 2023, fashion group Inditex joined up as a Regenerative Fund for Nature partner.
The report shows that, by the end of 2024, the Regenerative Fund for Nature had active projects in eight countries.
In total, there were 13 projects under way. Five of these focus on leather, three in Argentina, one in France and one in Spain. The involve sheep, goat and bovine leather.
