Circularity in Practice
We are actively developing circular material pathways for leather offcuts, insole materials, and packaging. Currently, all leather waste from cutting is segregated and redirected to secondary use. Recycled content packaging is standard across all export shipments.

We hold four key certifications: SEDEX/SMETA (ethical trade), SA8000 (social accountability and worker rights), ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), HIGG (sustainability assessment), RCS (recycled material in a product). All materials used for EU and UK orders meet REACH compliance standards for chemical safety.
41% of our factory's energy is currently generated by on-site solar panels. This is an operational figure, not a projection. We are actively working to increase this percentage as part of our ongoing environmental management programme.

Chrome-free tanning significantly reduces the use of harmful chemicals in the production process and is increasingly required by EU and UK retailers with published sustainability commitments. Speak to our team about specifying this for your range.
