Lowest Carbon Leather We make the world's lowest carbon intensity leather, at 1.1kg of CO2 per hide. When it comes to reducing our carbon emissions, we’re leading the way. Reducing our carbon emissions is a key measurement of our impact on the environment, and we’re on a journey to carbon neutral by 2025. We take sustainability seriously. So do our customers. We’ve reduced the carbon intensity of our leather by over 90% since 2003. How we do this: By minimising transportation mileage and reducing our carbon intensity. We look locally, to the resource on our doorstep. Over 98% of our rawhides are sourced within the UK and Ireland. Grass-fed beef and dairy farms in Scotland operate at net-zero carbon, and the carbon footprint of British red meat is only 40% of the world average. By circular manufacturing. We generate energy for our facilities from our by-products, using a patented circular manufacturing process that radically reduces our waste to landfill. And lastly by innovation. Our range of innovative lightweight leather not only makes energy savings in production, but passes that on to the customer, so they in turn can make fuel and carbon savings when they choose us.
