Sustainability, built into the way we work
Raw hides are processed within an integrated circular model, allowing by-products to be reused across food-grade and industrial applications while reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Circular Use of Resources
We work with long-term, trusted suppliers and apply strict controls to ensure ethical sourcing, consistency, and full traceability throughout the supply chain.
Traceability and Responsible Sourcing
Energy and water efficiency, renewable energy investments, and optimized processes are integral to reducing environmental impact across our operations.

Our Sustainability Journey
Sustainability at Iskefe Leather is a long-term commitment shaped by responsibility, structure, and measurable action. It is embedded into how we source materials, operate our facilities, manage relationships, and govern our processes — with a clear focus on continuity and accountability.
Environment
Environmental responsibility at Iskefe Leather is approached through long-term operational planning rather than short-term solutions. Our focus is on reducing environmental impact by improving energy efficiency, optimizing water usage, and investing in renewable energy systems integrated into our facilities. By continuously monitoring consumption and refining production processes, we aim to minimize waste, lower emissions, and operate in harmony with the ecosystems surrounding our manufacturing sites.
Social Responsibility
People are central to how Iskefe Leather operates and grows. We are committed to providing safe working conditions, supporting professional development, and fostering a culture based on respect and inclusion. Beyond our facilities, we aim to contribute positively to local communities through responsible employment practices and long-term engagement, recognizing that sustainable growth is only possible when social value is created alongside economic value.
Governance
Strong governance structures ensure consistency, accountability, and transparency across all Iskefe Leather operations. Our decision-making processes are guided by clear policies, defined responsibilities, and ethical business principles. By maintaining transparent management practices and internal controls, we aim to build trust with stakeholders and support long-term stability, resilience, and responsible corporate development.
Traceability and Animal Welfare
Traceability is a fundamental part of our sustainability approach. We work exclusively with trusted suppliers and apply rigorous evaluation processes to ensure material origin, responsible sourcing, and compliance with animal welfare standards. This structured system enables full visibility across the supply chain, supports ethical practices, and ensures that materials entering our production processes meet defined quality and responsibility criteria.
Sustainability Reporting
Transparency and measurement are essential to meaningful sustainability progress. At Iskefe Leather, sustainability performance is monitored through defined indicators and reported in a structured manner. These reports allow us to track improvements, identify areas for development, and communicate progress clearly to stakeholders, reinforcing accountability and supporting continuous improvement across our operations.
