What is Leather Working Group (LWG) doing to address deforestation in the leather supply chain?  

Right now, LWG is working with member companies and NGO partners to address deforestation in the following ways:  

  • We are expanding requirements for deforestation due diligence within the LWG audit standards 

  • Partnering with Textile Exchange and other industry stakeholders on a Deforestation-Free Call to Action for Leather which asks brands to commit to sourcing their bovine leather from deforestation/ conversion-free supply chains by 2030 or earlier.
