The Tuscan tanning district has maintained its EMAS (Eco-management and Audit Scheme) certification - a European Commission-driven tool that promotes the sharing of environmental best practice.

EMAS considers a wide range of parameters: from investments in tanneries and industrial parks, to campaigns to raise public awareness of environmental issues.

The entire district EMAS promotion committee - composed of the Tuscan Tanners' Association, the Ponte a Egola Tanners' Consortium and the Municipalities of Santa Croce sull'Arno, Castelfranco di Sotto, Fucecchio and San Miniato - participated in the audit.
