A new report has linked more than 100 fashion brands to deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.
While Stand.earth has found connections linking brands with JBS and the leather processors it supplies, the organisation makes it clear that these links are not proof that any specific brand is using deforestation leather. That’s because each leather processor will source from multiple countries and supply multiple brands, making it near impossible to determine exactly which hide has gone into each product.
A new report has linked more than 100 fashion brands to deforestation in the Amazon rainforest, via their leather supply chains.However, the organisation argues that there’s a high risk that leather sourced by these brands is causing deforestation in the Amazon. “Overall, Brazil accounts for about 20 per cent of all tanned leather exports globally,” Higgs says.
It’s worth bearing in mind that 30 per cent of the companies named in the report actually have policies in place against deforestation, including H&M, which has had a ban against sourcing leather from Brazil since 2019. “While we take these claims very seriously, we don’t agree that there is a high risk that our leather sourcing contributes to Amazon deforestation,” a H&M Group spokesperson said in a statement.
