At Buckle, we believe that true craftsmanship extends beyond the stylish appeal of our accessories. It encompasses a commitment to responsible sourcing and sustainable practices, ensuring that every product we create is not only a testament to our Australian heritage, but also a symbol of our dedication to environmental stewardship. In this post, we'll delve into our partnership with Leather Working Group (LWG) Tanneries, showcasing our unwavering commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing.

Sourcing Leather Responsibly

One of the cornerstones of our commitment to sustainability is our exclusive partnership with tanneries accredited by LWG. These tanneries adhere to international standards, promoting environmental stewardship and best practices within the leather industry. We are proud to say that 100% of the leather we use in our accessories comes from these LWG-accredited tanneries, ensuring that our customers receive products crafted with care and consideration for the planet.

The Leather Working Group is an internationally recognised multi-stakeholder community and not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting sustainability within the leather industry. By working with LWG-accredited tanneries, we align ourselves with a community that shares our values and commitment to ethical and environmentally conscious practices. This partnership allows us to contribute to a more sustainable and responsible leather industry.

Our Product Manager, Jody Sarkis, is passionate about maintaining the highest environmental standards throughout our supply chain. In the video above, Jody emphasises the importance of upholding ethical practices, from sourcing materials to crafting the final product.

Our commitment to responsible practices is not just a checkbox; it's an integral part of our crafting process. We believe that by making conscious choices at every step, we can create accessories that not only stand out in terms of design but also make a positive impact on the planet.
