23/08/2012

The director of corporate responsibility and sustainability at shoe retailer Deckers has outlined targets to have 100% of the tanneries it works with certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG) by the end of next year.

“In terms of animal products, sheep skin is our biggest material, and leather is second,” said Mark Heintz, who joined the company two years ago.
