We are thrilled to announce the publication of our latest research: "Assessing the Environmental Data Systems and Institutional Capacity of Bangladeshi's Leather Industry: A LCA Readiness Assessment Report".
As global buyers and regulatory frameworks increasingly demand supply chain transparency, transitioning toward sustainable manufacturing is no longer optional. This comprehensive report, published under the Leathertrace Bangladesh project, evaluates the current state of environmental data, traceability mechanisms, and institutional capabilities within the sector to support a credible Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
This milestone report is a collaborative output funded by UK International Development through the Sustainable Manufacturing and Environmental Pollution (SMEP) Programme, with technical assistance from UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
Read the full assessment and discover how we are laying the groundwork for a more transparent, circular, and competitive leather value chain.
