Partnering with LWG Tanneries: Quality Meets Sustainability

At Tawna Fashion Pvt. Ltd., our mission goes beyond crafting premium leather products; it extends to ensuring that our practices align with the principles of sustainability, ethical sourcing, and social responsibility. A cornerstone of this commitment is our partnership with Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified tanneries. This collaboration reflects our dedication to sourcing high-quality leather while minimizing environmental impact and promoting ethical practices within the leather industry.

What is the Leather Working Group (LWG)?

The Leather Working Group (LWG) is an international organization comprising brands, manufacturers, suppliers, and other stakeholders in the leather supply chain. LWG is known for its rigorous auditing standards, which evaluate tanneries based on environmental stewardship, water and energy consumption, chemical management, and waste reduction practices.

By partnering with LWG-certified tanneries, we ensure that our leather comes from sources that adhere to these high standards, reducing the environmental footprint of leather production while fostering ethical and sustainable practices.

Why We Partner with LWG-Certified Tanneries

Leather production has long been associated with environmental and ethical challenges, including water pollution, excessive energy consumption, and chemical misuse. As a brand committed to responsible fashion, we recognized the need to collaborate with tanneries that prioritize sustainability and transparency. Here’s how our partnership with LWG-certified tanneries makes a difference:

1. Ethical Sourcing

Tanneries certified by LWG are assessed for their ethical practices, including responsible sourcing of raw materials. This means that the leather used in our products comes from sources that respect animal welfare and traceability standards. By working with LWG-certified partners, we ensure that our materials meet stringent ethical criteria, giving our customers peace of mind.

2. Environmental Responsibility

LWG-certified tanneries are required to demonstrate significant reductions in water and energy consumption, as well as proper waste management and chemical use. This ensures that the leather production process has a minimal environmental impact. At Tawna Fashion, this aligns with our goal of promoting sustainable practices across every stage of our supply chain.

3. Quality Assurance

Leather from LWG-certified tanneries undergoes strict quality controls, ensuring that it meets global standards for durability, consistency, and performance. This allows us to maintain the premium quality our customers have come to expect from our products, while also ensuring that these products are made responsibly.

Our Sustainability Journey

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Tawna Fashion. Partnering with LWG-certified tanneries is just one part of our broader sustainability strategy. Here’s how we are contributing to a more sustainable future:

1. Eco-Friendly Materials

In addition to sourcing leather from certified tanneries, we use natural vegetable dyes and other eco-friendly treatments to process our products. These dyes reduce the use of harmful chemicals while enhancing the natural beauty of leather.

2. Waste Reduction

We strive to minimize waste at every stage of production. By collaborating with tanneries that manage waste responsibly, we ensure that excess leather and by-products are repurposed, recycled, or disposed of sustainably.

3. Transparency and Traceability

Our partnerships with LWG-certified tanneries ensure full transparency and traceability in our supply chain. Customers can trust that their products come from responsible sources, and every step of the process is documented and verified.
