The leather industry benefits from many organisations and associations who work to support the leather industry, some specific to region or specialist area. However, there is a need for a cohesive organisation that can holistically combine the efforts of the industry with the needs of the consumers, and society in general; working to address the industry’s current and future responsibilities.
