UNIC’s contribution to the Sustainable Leather Forum in Paris

UNIC – Concerie Italiane made its contribution to the 2026 edition of the Sustainable Leather Forum in Paris (September 7). By participating in a roundtable discussion on the challenges facing the leather industry with partners and stakeholders from around the world, deputy director Luca Boltri took advantage of the Italian supply chain’s privileged position to present to the audience the transformations currently underway in the industry and their implications for business practices.
Demand levels for leather, the regionalization of the global economy, raw material quality and the dynamics of competition and collaboration between European and Asian supply chains. There are many issues at play, against the backdrop of an economic climate that is transforming the fundamentals of the industry. And there is a growing awareness. There is a battle to be fought in a coordinated manner: the cultural challenge to communicate the sustainable benefits of leather to the general public and (re)win their favor.
