our SDGs

In fact, leather is sustainable.

About Leather

Leather products are made from the skins that are produced when meat is harvested from animals.
We don't take animals' lives just for leather products.

As long as the meat-eating culture continues, we will continue to use the skin, which is a part of life, without waste in order to make leather products.
This is an eco-friendly and sustainable activity that has been carried out for a long time, and we believe it is our mission to continue it into the future.

Environmental Burden

Skins continue to come from livestock farming.
If the leather is not utilized for products, the skins that continue to be produced will have to be disposed of, resulting in the emission of huge amounts of carbon dioxide through incineration and landfill.
It can be said that simply using leather products contributes to decarbonization.

Before that, facilities and land were limited in Japan,
The current situation is that we cannot incinerate or landfill any more waste.

If products that have previously been made from leather are now made from other materials, it could even lead to further carbon dioxide emissions.
Using leather to make leather products is an eco-friendly and sustainable cycle that leads to decarbonization.

Initiatives at Yuko Imanishi+

①We actively use leather that is certified by LWG (Leather Working Group).

It is mandatory for leather manufacturing factories to avoid such compliance violations and to be environmentally friendly.

In order to realize a sustainable world, we are increasing the use of leather that meets environmental and social compliance standards.
There are many types of leather, which is a by-product of livestock farming.
By using LWG Leather, we will be more considerate of the environment. We will do our best to contribute to this goal.
