Business Process Analysis for Sustainability and Circularity in the Leather Value Chain

This report focuses on the use of BPA to support the implementation of traceability and transparency in value chains. In other words, it looks to help the user identify, based upon their objectives, which information needs to be collected, where and by whom in the value chain. Improving traceability and transparency has become a priority in many industries. Consumers, governments, and civil society are demanding responsible business conduct and are calling upon industry to identify and address actual and potential impacts in the areas of human rights violations, adverse environmental effects and human health hazards. The only cost-effective way to meet these demands is by using traceability systems that are linked with the collection of transparency information.
