Deforestation-Free Leather Fund Fact Sheet

The Deforestation-Free Leather Fund is an opportunity for companies to financially support strategic initiatives to improve the sustainability of leather supply chains. The fund, led by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), will target geographies with natural ecosystems at higher risk of environmental degradation and focus on solutions that contribute to deforestation- and conversion-free (DCF) sourcing from those regions. Drawing on WWF’s 20+ years of experience in sustainable supply chains, the fund will give companies the opportunity to support initiatives that improve the traceability, sustainability, and resilience of leather supply chains.
