THIS IS how Gruppo Mastrotto interprets the certification of compliance with the “LWG” Environmental Protocol, promoted by the Leather Working Group (LWG), a multi-stakeholder organisation whose institutional purpose is to develop, maintain and improve a protocol that evaluates compliance and business practices regarding environmental sustainability, promoting improvements in the leather supply chain.
In 2022, the two-year audit provided for by the protocol confirmed the gold medal and awarded a score of 85% with regard to the traceability of incoming skins (https://www. leatherworkinggroup.com/).
A relevant result that moves in a perspective of transparency towards the stakeholders of the group and of involvement of the suppliers to guarantee an increasing traceability of the raw material.
Over the years, the LWG protocol has stimulated technical and organisational interventions aimed at: reducing water and energy consumption increasing recovery and recycling activities improving the management of chemicals keeping company spaces tidy and clean.
The protocol is appreciated by brands and multinationals that have identified it as one of the main criteria for choosing suppliers.
