The World Leather Day set for next Saturday, 26 April, is just over a week away. Launched for the first time in 2022, the initiative is promoted by the international non-profit organisation Leather Naturally to celebrate leather by promoting a deeper understanding of it.
This year the communication campaign associated with the event is entitled “Beyond the Surface” and focuses on three key characteristics of leather: transparency, sustainability and longevity. Everyone is invited to do their part by spreading the message through their social media using images and texts that can be downloaded HERE.
The future of footwear lies in sustainability: ‘From Heel to Footprint: ESG and Innovation in the Footwear Industry’ is the title of the event to be held on 15 May.
The revised standards came into effect on 1 April 2025, continuing the Association's mission to promote greater confidence in the textile and leather industry from a sustainable perspective.
