Audit Tool Examples
Sustainable Leather Foundation has created a suite of tools designed to support the leather value chain in their sustainability journey.
Our suite of tools comprise:
- SLF Audit Standard Report (ASR) – 3 Modules for Environmental, Social and Governance. Each module can be treated individually or worked on together as one complete package.
- SLF Standards and Benchmarks – the foundation upon which the Audit Standard is assessed. These documents should be read in conjunction with the ASR.
- Explanatory Notes and Templates – helpful information to support and guide companies in how to answer the audit questions in the ASR.
Examples of these documents can be found below, however, if you are interested in participating as a Foundation Partner and would like to see full versions you will need to register with us first.
Audit Standard Report (ASR)
Leather manufacturers and associated leather value chain organisations can arrange audits in a tailored way to suit their needs. For example, if a facility already has environmental certification, they can just request a social audit. Or perhaps they just need their Animal Welfare and Traceability sections of the Governance module auditing. Whatever the need, the Foundation can work with you to fill the gaps in your credentials without duplication of effort or cost. You only pay for what you need.
