Leather Working Group (LWG) est une organisation axée sur l’impact environnemental causé par la fabrication du cuir. Pour obtenir la certification LWG, les fabricants doivent avoir mis en œuvre des programmes d’utilisation de l’énergie et des eaux usées. Les certifications décernées sont des médailles d’or, d’argent et de bronze.
LWG Auditing & Rating
The LWG audit protocol is used to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturers. The medal levels have been set based upon best practice within the industry and reward good environmental practices. The medal levels are scored at 85% (Gold), 75% (Silver) and 65% (Bronze). The supplier must score the minimum in each of the protocol's scoring sections. A non-medal rating (Black) indicates that the supplier has been audited but did not fully meet the requirements of each section.
Gold
The manufacturer has been audited and received at least the minimum scoring (85) for a Gold medal classification – the highest LWG rating.
Silver
The manufacturer has been audited and received at least the minimum scoring (75) for a Silver medal classification.
Bronze
The manufacturer has been audited and received at least the minimum scoring (65) for a Bronze medal classification.
Audited
The manufacturer has been audited but did not reach the minimum percentage score required for a medal classification.
