Deborah Taylor is the Managing Director of the Sustainable Leather Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation set up specifically to support the leather industry in becoming more sustainable. The purpose of the organisation is to provide a global platform for the benefit of all stakeholders in the leather value chain.
A practitioner member of the Chartered Quality Institute and a certified SA8000 lead auditor, Taylor also currently works as a consultant for the UNECE on the project to “enhance traceability and transparency for more sustainable value chains in the garment and footwear sector”. In addition, she is a Council Member for the Society of Leather Technologists and Chemists.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
