LWG opens consultation on Leather Production Standard

02/10/2025
The Leather Working Group (LWG) has launched a public consultation on the chain of custody and due diligence requirements of its Leather Production Standard. The consultation opened on October 1 and will close on November 30.

Stakeholders across the leather supply chain are invited to review the draft documents and provide feedback using the online forms included. Comments can be made on individual clauses or submitted as general observations.

The new Leather Production Standard and the accompanying Chain of Custody Standard will replace sections of LWG Protocol 7 and are scheduled to come into effect in 2026. LWG said the standards aim to improve traceability, transparency, and responsible sourcing across the industry.
