From today the website “UNIC Sustainability Report – Italian Tanneries” is active, a dynamic and complete platform that tells the story of the commitment of the Italian tanning industry in the environmental, social and ethical fields. This tool was designed according to #ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) criteria, ensuring communication accessible to a wide audience, from the media and institutions to consumers looking for general information, up to detailed insights for technical researchers, customers and experts of the sector.
The site allows you to consult the latest data and historical series regarding various aspects of sustainability, such as resource consumption, product and process circularity, energy efficiency, raw materials, social commitment, health and safety, and training.
In addition to this, ongoing and planned activities on crucial topics for the sector are described, including chemical management (with particular attention to Chromium VI), LCA/environmental footprint, traceability, deforestation, cultural projects, terminology, recovery of tanning waste and exotic leathers.
This initiative was born with the aim of collecting all the information on tanning sustainability accumulated over the last two decades with the UNIC Sustainability Report, previously published in paper and PDF form.
The site is currently available in Italian and will be ready in English by September 2024, thus expanding its accessibility to an international audience.
