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.
