Gold Rated Certification

The Gold Rated Certification, awarded by organizations such as the Leather Working Group (LWG), evaluates compliance with good environmental, social, and management practices in the leather industry. This distinction represents one of the highest levels of recognition, focusing on aspects such as responsible water use, waste management, traceability, and transparency in the supply chain.

Lecom SA has achieved Gold Rated status thanks to its commitment to sustainability, responsible production, and respect for the environment. This certification guarantees its customers that the leather tanning and manufacturing processes are carried out under strict environmental and ethical standards.

Transparency as the basis for a relationship of trust with our customers around the world

Lecom Group is proud to be part of a movement that reflects the country's commitment to a greener and more responsible future, aligning itself with government policies that promote traceability and transparency in agro-industrial production processes. Lecom Group has implemented a robust system that guarantees the full traceability of each piece of leather, from its origin to the final product, thereby reaching luxury markets on several continents. We use a unique batch code that allows the leather to be tracked throughout its entire process, ensuring that each piece comes from responsible and sustainable sources, backed by international regulations and ethical standards.

Traceability with LECOM seal

At Lecom, transparency is the foundation of a relationship of trust with our customers. From the selection of hides to the final delivery of the finished product, each processed leather is backed by a detailed record of its origin and every stage of processing, allowing our customers to understand the history of each piece.

This commitment not only ensures the quality of the final product but also guarantees our responsibility to our customers, collaborators, and regulatory bodies, generating a positive impact throughout our entire value chain. It allows us to monitor and optimize our processes, keeping us in line with the demands of the global market and becoming suppliers to the world's leading brands.

We have reports to issue batch traceability in the following raw material states:

  • Traceability of fresh leather
  • Traceability report on shipments
  • Traceability of a pallet of wet blue leather
  • Traceability for semi-finished and finished products
