How We Do Business
Management approach.
We are committed to strict ethical standards, fairness, transparency, and equality practices across the Group and within our supply chain. This begins with gender equality, with equal pay for equivalent roles, and extends across all our behaviours – and is enshrined in our commitments and measured against the obligations within United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
We operate a robust auditing program in accordance with and beyond the requirements of our 8 ISO accreditations.
Our supply chain partners, contractors and suppliers have ALL signed our Code Of Conduct which expressly requires them to apply, as a minimum, the same standards of employment, behaviours, legality, and ethical practices as we do, and encourages them to continue this philosophy of supply chain integrity.
Product quality & customer experience.
Our leather is distinctive, natural and durable, adaptable and breathable. It wears well and ages beautifully. It is stress and abrasion tested and stain resistant, with years of knowledge and craftsmanship behind it to enable it to perform at an exacting level.
We offer cutting edge leather techniques and finishes, including bespoke and traditional perforation, digital printing, quilting, stitching, embossing and debossing.
We push the boundaries of leather design and manufacture. We are constantly inspired to create new textures and original finishes that explore what’s possible – and what’s next.
"Assessing all our leather by eye, our quality engineers ensure the highest standard across the entire supply chain, from sourcing and manufacturing to the finished product."
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 1st January 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"

Everrati
Supplying Everrati since 2022, Bridge of Weir is proud that its unparalleled advances in lowest carbon, fully traceable and ethically sourced leather align perfectly with Everrati’s vision. There are many synergies between the two brands when it comes to upcycling too – just as Bridge of Weir turns a by-product into a beautiful, durable and long-lasting luxury material, Everrati redefines classic cars with electric powertrains, enabling them to be enjoyed today and by tomorrow’s generation.
“Bridge of Weir is not just synonymous with the finest quality, it sets the benchmark for innovation and shares our vision that sustainability is a continuous, evolving process. And, like our products, leather is the ultimate example of upcycling.”
