Audit Certification

SLF’s Approach To All Our Work Follows The Principle Of A.I.M. – Accessible, Inclusive And Modular.

Our objective is to empower the leather value chain with the tools and knowledge necessary to make transformative change for a more sustainable future.  By providing a holistic approach to education, information, training and audit standards, facilities throughout the leather value chain can take control of their improvement programs at a pace to suit them, and in partnership with their suppliers and customers.

The guiding principle of our Audit Scheme is A.I.M.
ACCESSIBLE
  • SLF is available to all. You don’t need to pass an audit before you can become a Partner of SLF. We encourage all stakeholders to become partners in order that we can support the improvement with our tools to create a Sustainability Roadmap that is tailored to the needs of the individual facility.
  • By providing access to the SLF tools and resource, facilities will benefit from an increased potential for change at a pace that suits their abilities.

INCLUSIVE
  • Our program works whether you are a small organisation with 10 or less employees, or whether you are a multi-national organisation with thousands of employees.
  • SLF’s system is inclusive and recognises certification that is already in place from other credible 3rd party organisations. This avoids duplication of effort and allows for freedom of choice when working with brands, suppliers and certification companies.

MODULAR
  • The SLF Transparency Dashboard™ is designed to be modular. Once a facility becomes a partner of SLF, their existing certification is mapped onto the three ESG modules. SLF’s Audit Standard can then be used to complete any outstanding sections if required. A tannery with no certification can start with just one module or with single sections in each module and build up their certification over a time frame that is designed around their ability/need.
