Just as cotton sustainability starts at the farm, leather sustainability starts at the ranch.
Leather is a natural byproduct of food production, but cattle farming accounts for about 40 percent of all GHG emissions from agri-food systems, not to mention deforestation when not managed correctly. That’s why the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is teaming up with companies that utilize leather to support the newly launched Deforestation-Free
Leather Fund, transform leather supply chains and protect the world’s forests.
Listen to the podcast with Fernando Bellese, senior director for beef and leather supply chains, WWF, and Lauren Parker, director, Fairchild Studio to learn:
How the Fund is educating brands about leather’s role in deforestation and providing solutions.
Why it so important to preserve tropical forests.
Why companies must work together to address deforestation and promote more transparent supply chains.
How the Fund is helping to scale leather traceability systems.
