The Leather Traceability Cluster (LTC) has officially endorsed the essential traceability requirements developed by ICEC, Sustainable Leather Foundation, OEKO-TEX®, and Leather Working Group —a milestone in ensuring transparency and accountability in the leather supply chain.

 

This draft standard establishes common traceability requirements and verification elements, creating a tool for industry-wide certification. Following the formal voting procedure outlined in the LTC Terms of Reference (Section 5), it has now been adopted by the members of the Leather Traceability Cluster and will move forward through the fast-track CEN standardisation process. 

 

Since its launch in 2022, the LTC has held 24 meetings, fostering unprecedented collaboration among industry stakeholders to align on minimum requirements for traceability and verification—paving the way for a stronger, more sustainable leather sector.
