More than 1,000 Certifications for LWG
Multi-stakeholder body the Leather Working Group (LWG) has said more than 1,000 leather manufacturers around the world have now obtained LWG certification. It said this confirms those manufacturers’ commitment to making leather responsibly.
As of July 2022, a total of 1,040 sites have been audited by an LWG-approved auditor and awarded one of four ratings (audited, bronze, silver, or gold) by complying with the requirements of a global audit standard.
Commenting on reaching this milestone, LWG head, Christina Trautmann, said: “It’s great to see so many leather manufacturers getting involved and joining our community, as it is crucial for making the goal of a fully responsible leather supply chain a reality. This collective of companies working together will drive positive action at scale and amplify our impact.”
