Low-cost fashion retailer H&M says it is suspending leather purchases from Brazil to make sure it is not supporting cattle farming that may be contributing to fires in Amazon rainforest.
Low-cost fashion retailer H&M said Friday it is suspending leather purchases from Brazil to make sure it is not supporting cattle farming that may be contributing to the fires in the Amazon rainforest.
Hennes & Mauritz AB said its temporary ban on leather from Brazil will remain in place"until there are credible assurances ... that the leather does not contribute to environmental harm in the Amazon." In 2017, less than 1% of H&M's range of clothes was made of leather and it used synthetic leather products five times as much as real leather. The group has already been moving away from using materials derived from animals.
