Certifications

Choose ICEC certifications to communicate the excellence of your Company and of your products.

The Sustainability of the production processes today represents an important competitive factor for companies and increasing importance is taken up by tools such as third-party certifications issued by qualified independent bodies, able to certify objectively the performances of the firms. Certifying sustainability is complex. Talking about sustainability means in fact tackling multidisciplinary areas (environmental, economic and product aspects, social and ethical factors) also at different levels (product, process, human resources, site, supply chain, etc.). The tanning sector has for some time gone down the road of voluntary certification to give concrete support to the values and the commitment which firms guarantee both at system and product level.
ICEC, Accredia-credited certification organisation, has certified since 1994 all the types of firms in the leather industry according to the most important international and national standards, in addition to some technical specifications relating to requirements for which the market demands guarantees and which allow further support for firms in adequately promoting products of excellence. The aim is to certify the leather supply chain, up to the end user.
