Today’s society is better informed and more conscious than ever of the effects that production and consumption can have on the earth’s natural resources and it’s ability to regenerate; the negative impacts that can damage our ecosystem; the importance of fair and humane treatment of workers; and the welfare of animals.
The leather industry has the potential to impact positively and negatively on both our environment, and also as part of a sustainable economy for the future. As a foundation, SLF are committed to supporting the leather industry in a holistic way to foster improvement, reduce impact and provide a mechanism to demonstrate sustainable leather manufacturing to the consumer.
