Leather Working Group audit protocol launched

08/01/2007

Following 18 months of development involving various brands and tanners, the Leather Working Group (LWG) environmental audit protocol is now being utilised.

The aim of the protocol is to provide suggested guidelines for the environmental performance of tanneries. Developed and reviewed by tanners, brands and industry specialists, the protocol has been reviewed by the World Wildlife Fund USA and other non-governmental, industry and academic stakeholders.

The LWG hopes to create alignment on environmental priorities, bring visibility to best practices and provide suggested guidelines for continual improvement in the global tanning industry.

The contracted facilitator for LWG is UK-based BLC Leather Technology Centre Ltd.
