How is Gold Rated certification obtained?

To obtain Gold Rated certification, tanneries must meet strict standards on water management, waste treatment, energy consumption and worker health and safety. These standards are checked through regular audits carried out by independent third parties.

By choosing Gold Rated certified leather, consumers can be sure that the leather has been produced responsibly and sustainably. This certification also helps encourage tanneries to keep improving their environmental and social practices.
