Courovale has a sustainability policy, in addition to working safely in all processes that involve leather production. Influence of the global industry, environmental concepts are gaining more and more strength, both in the supply chain of companies, as well as in the awareness of consumers, who pay attention to the ethical values that brands propose, mainly in the preservation of natural resources.
As part of the leather sector, we permanently seek to adapt to this stance, also because we understand that above any legal obligation, we are part of a segment that for some time has been under the critical eye of the public, but which has evolved exponentially in technologies and techniques applied to leather management. One of these main developments is linked to restrictive substances.
Our quality control work
We periodically survey these products that have controlled use, in addition to having information from laboratories and entities linked to leather of our State and even the world, which gives us the security of being totally up to date on the subject.
We follow international norms and standards, in addition to having our leathers systematically tested in accredited laboratories, certifying their quality and meeting the requirements, which are even extended to our commercial partners, who need to comply with all legislation to commercialize the articles, both in Brazil and abroad.
We take care of your health
These measures also contemplate the health and well-being of consumers, since the inadequate treatment of leather, when containing restrictive substances, can lead to the possibility of toxic effects when using the articles, especially in contact with skin.
In view of this problem, several global laws already restrict dangerous chemical substances in shoes and leather articles containing nickel, cadmium, aromatic amines, hexavalent chromium, among others, because they are agents with a high potential risk to health and the environment.
Therefore, there is a recurring debate, which Courovale is promptly inserted in order to provide and improve leather production processes, obeying the restriction of harmful substances, in order to deliver quality, sustainability and health through preventive means.
