Sustainability
Sustainability has always been at the heart of PrimeAsia’s business. As founding members of the Leather Working Group (LWG), we have been at the forefront of sustainability in the leather industry for two decades. With the launch of our Consciously Crafted strategy in 2024 we took our commitment further, setting data-driven targets under four pillars: Operational Excellence, Circularity, Climate Action, and Social Impact.
Operational Excellence
Operational Excellence has been the foundation of our sustainability program and continues to be a cornerstone of our strategy. Under this pillar, we have targets that encompass exceeding industry standards on compliance management, tracing 100% of our raw material supply chain to the birth farm or group of birth farms, removing hazardous chemicals from our supply chain, sending zero waste to landfill, using 100% recycled water, and shifting towards 100% renewable energy.
Circularity
PrimeAsia is committed to both waste reduction and the incorporation of more sustainable materials in our operations. Our Circularity pillar covers targets for recycling, including footwear factory takeback programs for turning leather waste into a recycled material and reusable shipping containers. Targets for preferred materials also fall under our Circularity pillar.
Climate Action
At the end of 2023, PrimeAsia committed to setting verified science-based targets (SBTi) by 2025, reflected in our GHG reduction goal under Climate Action. We are also developing data-driven biodiversity targets aligned with the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN).

Social Impact
Our Social Impact strategy aims to improve the livelihoods of our workers, individuals throughout our value chain, and the communities in which we operate. Under this pillar we have targets to disclose wage data against living wage standards, complete community engagement, and create programs dedicated to worker wellbeing.
