Leather Working Group
Bundgaard is a member of LWG, a non-profit organisation dedicated to driving improvement across the global leather supply chain . LWG has created an audit standard of environmental, social and governance metrics, against which leather manufacturers are audited and certified. We are committed to crafting our shoes using top-quality materials while promoting responsible leather production. Every Bundgaard shoe is made with leather sourced from LWG-certified manufacturers, all of whom have earned a high rating in their LWG Audit.
The LWG protocol is used to evaluate the environmental impact of leather producers, Medal ratings are determined based on industry practices, with gold awarded at 85%, silver at 75%, and bronze at 65%. A minimum score is required in each section to achieve the final medal rating.
