HOW IT WORKS<\/h6>\n

The benchmark gives brands confidence that our environmental and social minimums are being met.<\/h2>\n

All standards and certifications that are approved by the Leather Impact Accelerator have been assessed by a third party to confirm that they meet our benchmark. This means that brands can be confident that the farm is respecting the minimum level of best practices established by the LIA, regardless of which standard they\u2019re using.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
