Leather manufacturer PrimeAsia has launched a new long-term sustainability framework, “Consciously Crafted”, in its 2024 sustainability report.
The strategy, structured around four pillars of operational excellence, circularity, climate action and social impact, marks a significant step forward in the company’s efforts to integrate sustainability across its global operations.
Highlights from 2024 include achieving 43% renewable energy use, driven by a new rooftop solar project in Vietnam and a power purchase agreement in China. It also diverted 80% of waste from landfill, reduced chemical solvent use, and increased use of ZDHC-compliant chemicals, with 75% of all chemicals now certified to Level 3.
In traceability, 11% of hides were traceable to the birth farm or group of farms, with a target of reaching 100% by 2030. The company also strengthened its compliance management and internal auditing systems, and completed over 3,200 hours of community service across its sites.
Under the circularity pillar, PrimeAsia continued trials on reusable packaging and explored options for turning leather waste from footwear factories into new products. It said these pilot programmes would help inform long-term targets for 2030.
Chief executive Jonathan Clark said the strategy aims to “lead with purpose” and ensure that sustainability scales alongside business growth.
