“We worked with Eurofins BLC on this project using their insight into the needs and direction of the market and came up with an augmentation plan for the business. We had already begun the development process but wanted reassurance that we were on the right track and of course third-party validation of our activities,” AV Kishore, COO and head of leather division at Bhartiya International Ltd, said in a press release.

Working with Eurofins BLC, Bhartiya were able to validate their activities so that they can create authentic messaging. The validations included reviews of their social auditing process, the management of mould, policies on animal welfare and deforestation, the traceability of material, and the governance processes etc. These are all in addition to the in-depth assessment that is the Leather Working Group audit which covers operating permits, water and energy metrics and targets, liquid and solid waste discharges, RSL, MRSL and Chrome VI management, health and safety, VOC emissions, environmental management systems and more.

“One of the big projects Bhartiya worked on as part of this project was better transparency of their supply chain and clearer traceability of raw material origins. Bhartiya chose to work with Eurofins BLC to geo reference and map their complete upstream supply chain using our specialised mapping process and software. This on-going project has enabled them to ensure that their raw material sources are not driving deforestation and facilitates dialogue with in-direct suppliers further up the supply chain on topics such as animal welfare, deforestation, and social governance,” Eurofins release said. “Our view is that you must have good transparency of the supply chain to be able to manage potential sensitivities within it.”
