The Leather Working Group

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an organization that promotes sustainable practices in leather manufacturing. It brings together brands, tanneries, and suppliers to develop standards for responsible environmental and social practices. By earning LWG certification, tanneries demonstrate they meet strict criteria for reducing pollution, conserving resources, and ensuring fair labor conditions. This helps companies and consumers make more eco-friendly and ethical choices when selecting leather products, encouraging the industry to prioritize sustainability and transparency.
