We are pleased to inform you about the Leather Manifesto sent to us by Dr. Kerry Senior from the International Council of Tanners, UK.

It is important that this document reaches as many people as possible, especially politicians, the press, and customers, in order to highlight the positive aspects and value of leather in times of global climate policy.

Please circulate the manifesto through all available channels, adding your logo and a supporting message. Please do not change the text of the manifesto, as it is important to convey a consistent message. You will find here also the communication guidelines, which you can use as required. This is the final version for distribution, but we welcome additional signatories and for follow-up editions.
