An executive committee meeting took place on the first afternoon, followed by business sessions on April 28, covering hide traceability, shipping issues, and trade and market updates. Other sessions focused on regulatory matters, labelling and the leather industry’s relationship with non-profit group the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, which set up the Higg MSI sustainability index to allow brands to compare the environmental performance of different materials.
