The Leather Traceability Cluster (LTC) has officially endorsed essential traceability requirements developed by its organisations. By ILM.

ICEC, Sustainable Leather Foundation, Oeko-Tex and Leather Working Group developed the standard, which establishes common traceability requirements and verification elements, providing a unified framework for industry-wide certification.

Following the formal voting procedure outlined in the LTC Terms of Reference, the standard has now been adopted by LTC members and will advance through the fast-track CEN standardisation process.

Since its launch in 2022, the LTC has held 24 meetings, a collective effort which it says marks a significant step toward a more transparent, responsible and sustainable leather industry.
