Our Mission
Environmental, Social and Economic responsibility are essential components for a sustainable industry. Our mission is to support the global leather value chain to learn, to improve and to protect for future generations, through the People ~ Planet ~ Profit principle.
“Let’s be the change that secures the future” – Deborah Taylor, Managing Director.
What We Do
We are industry led and consumer focused. At the heart of the foundation is our revolutionary, integrated, SLF Transparency Dashboard™. Our Dashboard is linked to an audit certification standard that assesses the compliance and performance of companies working within the leather value chain, against the three pillars of sustainability:
• Environmental
• Social
• Governance
Today’s society is more informed and more conscious of:
- the effects that production and consumption have on the earth’s natural resources and its ability to regenerate
- the negative impacts that can damage our ecosystem
- the importance of fair and humane treatment of workers
- the welfare of animals.
Our Services at a Glance
Our Transparency Dashboard gives customers and consumers an instant visual of sustainability performance across the 3 pillars of Environmental, Social and Governance. Utilising a standard traffic light system for ease of visual understanding, this allows instant accessibility to real time information that supports due diligence.

By mapping a company’s existing certification onto the Transparency Dashboard, we avoid duplication of cost and resources, and encourage alignment and synergy for our partners.
Based on our vision of the “A.I.M. Approach”, our audit certification service is Accessible, Inclusive and Modular. This gives us the ability to support sustainable improvement with facilities no matter what size or scope.
