Tibet - Sustainable Practices in Yak Leather Sourcing

Francis Tsang writes on LinkedIn: Traceability from farm to open slaughter site in the production of Tibetan Domestic Yak Leather is essential for ensuring that the materials are sourced responsibly and ethically.


Tibetan herders and farmers ensure that yaks are treated humanely throughout their lives, including during transportation and at the slaughter site. This includes providing adequate living conditions, proper nutrition, and veterinary care.


Monitoring and minimizing the environmental impact of yak farming and leather production. This can involve sustainable grazing practices, waste management, and leather tanning.

We are not the manufacturer of Responsible Yak Leather but are the porters of the Tibetan Plateau.
