Hubert Védrine to open Sustainable Leather Forum

The Sustainable Leather Forum has announced that Hubert Védrine will open the eighth edition of the event, which will take place on September 7 at the Maison de la Chimie in Paris, France.

A former minister of foreign affairs, he is widely known for his work in international relations and geopolitical analysis. His opening address is expected to examine current global realignments and their implications for economic flows and industrial production.

Organisers said his contribution will provide a broader perspective on the geopolitical factors shaping the leather sector, offering context for ongoing changes affecting supply chains and markets.
