Leather Making - H&M Group to use only chemical-free tanned leather

Francis Tsang of the ChromeFree Leather Alliance writes that the journey of the Chinese leather value chain towards chrome-free is challenging. We are not finished yet, but we wanted to share some of our small wins with you.

 

 

Xuzhou Nanhai Leather is a local, wholly state-owned tanning company in China. We are a Tier 2 supplier of chrome-free Zeology tanned leather for ARKET, & Other Stories, and COS.

 

H&M Group has decided to use only chrome-free tanned leather originating from more sustainable sources by 2025.

 

Thank you for H&M Group and Nera Leather Tanning’s efforts and commitment to create a socially and environmentally sustainable leather value chain In China, for China, and the world.
