Leather traceability is a fundamental element of today’s value chain. Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the how and where their leathergoods are made, therefore providing evidence of traceability of materials can be challenging for brands, retailers and manufacturers. Value chain mapping helps identify suppliers beyond tier one and further upstream.
How can brands and retailers trace the manufacture of leather?
The leather value chain is a complex and globalised network of suppliers, manufacturers, tanneries, traders, slaughterhouses and farms. Raw hides and skins, part-processed and fully processed material is commercially sold over an inter-continental area, meaning that leather traceability can be challenging to achieve.
