The Leather Working Group (LWG) has announced that more than 1,000 leather manufacturers have now obtained LWG certification, reports ILM.
As of July 2022, a total of 1,040 sites have been audited by LWG-approved auditors and awarded a rating from audited through to Gold.
Christina Trautmann, Head of Leather Working Group, said: “Our membership has been growing rapidly over the past couple of years, and in fact we only reached 1,000 members across all sectors back in 2020.
“It’s great to see so many more 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.”
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
