The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has released its new Guidelines for Assessing the Environmental Footprint of Leather, providing the leather industry with a harmonized framework for measuring and reporting environmental impacts across the leather value chain.

The guidelines aim to support greater transparency, consistency, and sustainability by offering a science-based methodology for assessing key environmental indicators. Developed by UNIDO and Spin360, in collaboration with industry experts and stakeholders, the document will help companies identify improvement opportunities, meet growing market expectations, and contribute to more sustainable production practices.

The publication represents an important step towards enhancing the environmental performance of the international leather sector and supporting informed decision-making throughout the value chain.
