Hong Kong seminar to address data transparency

05/02/2026

Industry organisations the Leather & Hide Council of America (LHCA) and the China Leather Industry Association (CLIA) will jointly host a seminar at the 2026 APLF exhibition in Hong Kong.

From 10 o’clock until noon on the middle day of the exhibition, Friday, March 13, CLIA and LHCA will host a seminar on data transparency and consistency in data-collection methods in the global leather industry.

They will argue conflicting lifecycle assessment results are undermining the credibility of the industry’s claims about the environmental performance of leather, and that data integrity can help the industry “build market confidence”.
