Sustainable management of raw material: Traceability, animal welfare and key ethical issues
Having a high level of control over the upstream supply chain is increasingly a strategic issue for tanneries. Traceability has become the key instrument to guarantee a sustainable management of raw materials, in terms of animal welfare, respect and responsible sourcing. To achieve this, a lot of initiatives are underway.
On deforestation, the DCFL project was pioneered by ICEC (Certification Institute for the leather sector) and NWF (National Wildlife Federation), and Italian tanneries have already been certified.

The webinar will be moderated by Sustainable Talks with N&N.
