LWG-certified leather
What does LWG certification mean?
The Leather Working Group (LWG) is a global standard for environmentally friendly leather production. The certification ensures that tanneries adhere to strict guidelines for water usage, chemical management, and waste handling. For you as a user, this means that the leather in your shoes has been produced responsibly, with minimal impact on the environment.
Why is this important?
Leather is a natural material that provides both durability and comfort to products. However, leather production can have a significant environmental impact if not carried out responsibly. By using LWG-certified leather, we ensure:
- Reduced water and energy consumption during production.
- Controlled use of chemicals to protect both the environment and people.
- Reduced waste and lower pollution levels.
- Animal welfare.Contribution to less deforestation.
- Efforts to mitigate climate change.
This means you can feel confident that the Wenaas shoes you choose not only take care of you but also help protect our planet.
