The short story

More than
a name.

LWG’s manufacturer audit began in 2005 and now sits beside standards for several supply-chain roles. The directory is a live starting point; LWG says the facility—not the finished product—carries certification and current validity must be checked.

Why it is here

A useful starting point,
not a verdict.

It helps buyers and brands find the facility-level record while LWG’s own guidance prevents that record from being turned into whole-product certification.

What inclusion means

This listing is informational. It is not an endorsement, certification, ranking or guarantee. Independently confirm identity, credentials, licences, safety information, price, availability, terms and current operating status before acting.

This section follows the named sources. If a future direction is not published by the source, it is not added here.

01
The line behind it

From a 2005 manufacturer audit to several supply-chain standards

LWG says its flagship Leather Manufacturer Audit began in 2005. The programme now publishes separate standards for manufacturers, traders, commissioning manufacturers and subcontractors.

02
Where it stands now

A live directory with scope and validity to check

The supplier finder supports searches by site type, rating, leather, animal, tannage, country, name and URN. LWG says certification belongs to the facility that made the leather, not the finished product.

03
What the source says is next

Standards continue to evolve through programme governance

LWG states that its standards are continually developed with stakeholder and technical input. Any future claim should use the version and validity visible at the time, not assume today’s scope is permanent.

04
A verified way in

Build a defensible chain from item to facility

Match the item’s leather to the exact facility and certificate, then check composition, construction, repair and product performance separately.
