Sustainable Sophistication

In an age where sustainability and luxury are no longer mutually exclusive, we’re proud to lead the charge with our avant-garde leather manufacturing process. Our commitment to the environment is unwavering, and with each square metre produced by our customers, we’re redefining the benchmarks of eco-luxury.

A Carbon Commitment

The main sources of embedded carbon in leather’s core manufacturing processes are the chemicals and electrical energy used, responsible for a combined 70% of carbon intensity*. Through rigorous research and innovative techniques, we’ve achieved remarkable reductions in these key contributors.

The large reductions in chemicals, process water, wastewater, energy, and process time are key levers towards Net Zero leather.

Eco-Innovation at its Best

Driving down chemical usage by 10 – 20%, and water consumption by a staggering 40%, our process is a testament to the power of innovation.

As well as reducing resource inputs, the shorter cycle times and lower effluent loads both cut energy usage, further reducing carbon and costs.

It’s a clear message : luxury needn’t come at the expense of the environment.
