How We Do Business
Management approach.
Since 2003, we have pursued a circular manufacturing approach, with the principles of sustainable development at its core and enshrined in our Journey to Zero.
Since then, we have focused on key climate impacts affecting our operations, supply chain and the direct impacts for which we are responsible. Environmental and societal risks have therefore inspired opportunities to innovate and de-risk.
We continue to conduct our business in a transparent, robust, de-risked and compliant manner, and with suppliers whose commitments reflect our own.
Product quality & customer experience.
Together we go further. We offer innovative and integrated leather solutions, and, in collaboration with our partners, nurture long-term relationships while setting new industry standards in quality and environmental responsibility.
From raw hide to finished leather, all leather production takes place at our fully integrated facility in Bridge of Weir, Scotland. As dedicated leather manufacturers, we possess deep expertise in the unique qualities of this natural material and understand how each stage of the process impacts the durability and excellence of the final product.
"Working closely with internal teams and suppliers, we explore new possibilities while ensuring our finishes meet aesthetic and technical standards."
Key measurement.
Transparency & traceability of raw materials.
We source from, and contribute back to, the food chain. All our raw hides are a by-product of the local beef and dairy industries, from which we have 100% traceability. We source raw hides locally within the UK & Ireland from responsible suppliers, without risk of deforestation and with full transparency and traceability.
We procure over 98% of our raw hides locally from the UK and Ireland. The new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), effective 30th December 2025, aims to prevent global supply chain deforestation. Our robust supply chain ensures compliance and provides our customers with reassurance and evidence of their compliance.
"We can demonstrate a supply chain with no risk of deforestation"
