Leather is out of the EUDR.

The Delegated Act excluding hides, skins and leather from the EU Deforestation Regulation has been formally adopted by the European Commission and cleared parliamentary scrutiny. Publication in the Official Journal is expected shortly, pending translation into all EU languages.

It took two years, rigorous research, and an industry that refused to give up.

"Today the European Union saved a European industry recognized globally for its excellency - formally, and definitively. This is a historic day for every tannery, every worker, and every stakeholder who stood behind this cause." 

 Manuel Rios, President of COTANCE

Traceability and environmental accountability remain our top priority, while the 2030 EUDR review is already on our radar.
