Leather manufacturer Scottish Leather Group (SLG), has released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report.

The company confirmed that its operations are now net zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, meeting a target first set in 2018. The report also highlights the commissioning of a solar PV array, higher recycling and recovery rates, and continued investment in energy and water treatment systems.

SLG produces leather with an independently verified carbon footprint of 8kg CO2e per square metre, which it says is the lowest in the industry. It has also achieved full traceability of hides to UK and Irish farms, ensuring compliance with upcoming EU deforestation rules.
