Consulting for the leather supply chain
Turn sustainability into a competitive advantage.
Specialized consulting for Leather Working Group (LWG) implementation and audit preparation.
We support tanneries, leather traders, commissioning manufacturers and subcontractors in understanding requirements, identifying gaps and organizing actions for consistent preparation.
JRB's role: JRB provides consulting support for implementation and preparation. The audit and certification decision follow LWG's official process and are carried out by an entity/auditor in accordance with that process. JRB does not issue approval, medals or certification, nor does it guarantee approval.
