This report is targeted at policymakers, companies,

civil society, and other partners who are interested

in developing collective action to address the main

sustainability challenges in the leather sector. The

Tropical Forest Alliance is an important platform for

public-private partnerships aimed at decoupling

commodity trade from deforestation. This report also

therefore serves as a springboard for TFA to explore

how to mobilize and deliver partnerships that can

support the leather sector to advance collectively on

some of the most significant existential issues that it

faces today.
