Certification information

First of all, we are pleased to inform you that the implementation of the management system according to Ecostep 5.1 has been completed.

Ecostep is an integrated management system specifically developed for medium-sized companies that, in addition to quality management, also takes into account key aspects of environmental protection and occupational safety.

The Ecostep 5.1 certification, which we are looking forward to next month, verifies conformity with the essential elements of international ISO standards:

• Quality management according to ISO 9001:2015

• Environmental management according to ISO 14001:2015

• Occupational health and safety according to ISO 45001:2018

The implementation of the management system has made processes within the company lean, transparent, and reproducible. In conjunction with our modern and audit-compliant ERP system, our processes are optimally managed. Through a structured analysis of internal processes and external interfaces, potential for improvement is quickly identified and addressed.

In the area of environmental management, we continuously monitor the environmental impact of the production, distribution, and shipping of our high-quality products. Managing emissions, energy, and water consumption is a key aspect for us.

Further developing environmental protection and promoting the sustainability of our products will be our central focus in the coming weeks and months. We are currently intensively preparing for certification by the Leather Working Group (LWG).

The Leather Working Group is a non-profit organization responsible for the world's leading environmental certification for the leather manufacturing industry, determining the environmental impact of the production process and aiming for continuous improvement.
