ChromeFree® Leather Alliance and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Our mission as an alliance is to improve the leather value chain in China for China by highlighting innovative alternatives and the benefits of investing in a ChromeFree® Future. We have chosen three of the UN Sustainable Development Goals as our guidelines in reaching this.

6 Clean Water & Sanitation

The leather industry consumes and processes large amounts of water, that's why we believe that it's important to ensure best practices in treatment by promoting water-use efficiency. We want to make sure that leather manufacturers are able to implement chemical management systems, which will in turn reduce water contamination.

12 Responsible Production & Consumption

Through the alliance, we work alongside manufacturers, chemical suppliers, brands and retailers. With influence throughout the leather supply chain, we hope to encourage the efficient management of chemicals, especially chromium. By promoting the chrome-free alternatives, we hope to support creating a more responsible end of life for leather.

17 Partnerships for the goals

In order to create substantial change in the leather supply change, we believe that the best way to do that is through collaborations. This is why we are connecting with leading leather industry change makers to fast-track the process to a more circular supply chain.
