Fashion and leather goods
Context and challenges
The fashion and leather goods sector is now evolving in a context where sustainability, carbon footprint and the preservation of biodiversity are at the heart of industrial and agricultural concerns. Faced with regulatory and societal pressure, players are rethinking their supply chains, strengthening the sustainable sourcing of raw materials by favouring regenerative agriculture, improving their traceability and adopting eco-design, recycling and upcycling to limit pollutants and reduce wastewater treatment. Sustainable sourcing, circularity, innovations in biotechnology and natural dyes are strategic levers, while certifications and standards (LWG, ZDHC, etc.) guarantee transparency and social responsibility. Sustainable logistics and flow optimization complete this transition to a circular and resilient economy.

Our support
Define your footprint while respecting planetary boundaries:
We map all the environmental pressures of your collections – supply of fibers (cotton, leather, synthetics), dyes and finishes, transport – in order to quantify your impact on biodiversity, water resources, climate and chemical pollution. On this basis, we develop a strategic trajectory that ensures that ecological and social boundaries are respected, from the farm to the point of sale.
Driving product innovation and responsible materials:
At your side, we integrate eco-design criteria from the design phase: selection of vegetable-tanned or alternative leathers, recycled and low-impact fibers, mono-materiality facilitating recycling. We create impact assessment guidelines (simplified LCA, water footprint analysis, pollution assessment) to guide your choice of materials and processes.
Rethink your business models and your value chain:
We help you to establish total traceability — from livestock or the textile industry to distribution — and to optimize your flows (storage, transport, packaging) to limit waste and emissions. Thanks to local sourcing schemes, second-hand product collection channels and circular economy solutions (take-back, up-cycling, rental), you strengthen your resilience and reduce your environmental costs.
Anticipating regulatory risks and market opportunities:
We carry out diagnostics of climate, regulatory (CSRD, European taxonomy) and transition risks specific to fashion and leather goods. On this basis, we co-construct your adaptation and innovation roadmap – new circular offers, green labels, sustainable financing – to transform these challenges into levers of competitiveness and differentiation.
