Burberry has been undergoing research to review the farming practices in New Zealand to better understand the risks associated with water pollution. Burberry has also engaged directly with New Zealand suppliers on this topic. A significant challenge in addressing water risk from cattle is the lack of traceability within leather supply chains. Burberry uses the Leather Working Group audit and other certifications to promote better traceability, and to allow brands to assess water risks as necessary. Burberry has set a target for 2022 to source 100% of leather from tanneries that hold environmental, traceability and social compliance certifications. Recognising the significance of impacts beyond tanneries, Burberry traces hides to their country of origin and address issues according to regional risk.

Project Results

Burberry has set a target for 2022 to source 100% of leather from tanneries that hold environmental, traceability and social compliance certifications.
