UK-based supermarket Tesco has responded to claims by campaigning group Greenpeace (see leatherbiz blog 20.06.09) in an open letter to The Guardian.

The letter, from the company's corporate and legal affairs director, Lucy Neville-Rolfe, defends the chain's sourcing of cattle products from the region, including beef and leathergoods, as being entirely legitimate. It also states that the firm does not condone illegal deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.
