LIA-162 Benchmark for Leather Production Social Standards, V1.0

The goal of this document is to set forth a global standard benchmark against which to evaluate standards that address social challenges in order to drive continuous improvement at scale throughout the leather industry.

The scope of this standard benchmark encompasses slaughterhouse and the leather production supply chain, considered to be all hide transformation stages from beamhouse to finished leather. This standard benchmark is limited to standards that apply to a production site, defined as a site for a given production site (legal entity), in one geographical location, where slaughter or leather production operations are undertaken.
