Zero-deforestation leather is a term used to describe leather that is produced without contributing to deforestation. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of beef, and the leather industry is a key byproduct of this sector. Unfortunately, ranching for beef has caused significant destruction to the Amazon rainforest in the past. In 2014, our company recognized this issue and created the first certified Zero Deforestation Leather supply chain with the National Wildlife Federation. We advocate for consumers and fashion brands to demand to know the provenance of their leather to help ensure both animal welfare and traceability to support the protection of the Amazon rainforest and other natural environments. Our leather hides are sourced from sustainable farms and are treated and distributed by Couro Quimica, a tannery rated Gold standard by the Leather Working Group, ensuring that our leather is both sustainable and ethical.
