Working Together

In order to achieve better outcomes for all, SLF believes it is important to build and develop strong relationships with external stakeholders,  NGOs and governments, as well as with other leather industry organisations. 

Establishing strength of purpose by sharing best practice, experience and knowledge will ensure that the leather value chain continues to improve social impacts, reduce environmental impacts and increase profitability. 

SLF welcomes the opportunity to engage with organisations that share the strong values upon which the Foundation was established.  Click below to learn more about the organisations we currently work with.

Leather Industry Associations

Africa Leather & Leather Products Institute

The Africa Leather and Leather Products Institute (ALLPI), previously known as COMESA/LLPI, was chartered in 1990, with the endorsement of 17 COMESA Heads of States. The COMESA Council of Ministers in its thirty-seventh meeting decided that starting from 1st January 2018 COMESA – Leather and Leather Products Institute was to be rebranded as Africa Leather and Leather Products Institute (ALLPI). ALLPI’s main mandate is to support the development of the leather sector in the Region.

COTANCE

COTANCE represents the European leather industry in the EU and at international level. It is the network of European leather producers’ associations and connects with over 95% of all the region’s tanneries.
