LWG AUDIT

Leather Working Group is a not-for-profit organisation responsible for the world's leading environmental certification for the leather manufacturing industry. As a multi-stakeholder group, LWG boasts over 1000 members from across the leather supply chain, including:

• Brands and retailers that sell leather products to consumers 

• Manufacturers of leather (aka, tanneries) 

• Traders of part-processed and finished leather 

• Manufacturers of leather garments, footwear and furniture 

• Suppliers of chemicals, machinery and testing for the leather industry 

• Associations within and related to the leather industry. 

Since 2005, LWG has identified environmental best practices in the industry and provided guidelines for continual improvement. In fact, we offer a suite of auditing tools to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturing facilities – and we certify those that meet our standards.
