Thank you to the LWG for hosting a great panel and for inviting me to be a part of it! I enjoyed the conversation and am excited at the opportunities to collaborate across the industry to drive positive impact.
Camille Mori, MPA Mori, our Chief Sustainability Officer, joined an expert panel at the LWG Stakeholder Meeting in Milan earlier this month to discuss “Reducing Impact.” The panel brought together leaders from the leather, footwear, and chemical industries to discuss and exchange insights on hots spots within the tanning industry such as responsible chemical management, developing circular solutions, and increasing renewable energy use. A big thank you to Leather Working Group for facilitating open and transparent conversations among competitors, suppliers, and customers. Collaboration across the supply chain is essential to tackling climate challenges. #leather #primeasialeather #LWG #sustainability #climateimpacts #reducingimpact #supplychain #leatherindustry
