Sustainability and Certifications
WE BELIEVE THAT ETHICS, SUSTAINABILITY AND RESEARCH CREATE SUCCESS
We believe that sustainability is a responsibility as well as an opportunity. For over thirty years we have cared about the health and safety of our workers and, with the same respect and attention, over the years we have built an integrated and certified management system which allows us to evaluate and monitor all our production processes and their impact on the territory.

In light of the urgent need to address the challenges posed by climate change, at Laba we are implementing policies aimed at reducing our environmental footprint, as we firmly believe that sustainability is a corporate approach to creating long-term value.
We continuously monitor all aspects of our production activities that may interact with the surrounding environment, including atmospheric emissions, wastewater discharges, and processing waste.
In 2013, with the implementation of an Environmental Management System developed in accordance with the ISO 14001 standard, and in 2024 with the achievement of the Gold Medal certification under the LWG environmental protocol, the company carefully monitors its tanning processes, all water consumption in real time through an automated system, and its final products, systematically identifying and implementing environmental improvement actions.

People and Ethics
"Today, ethics also concerns corporate social responsibility: at Laba we believe in a culture guided by self-regulating principles that reflect our company's commitment to also contribute to the well-being of our employees, in terms of fairness, health and safety at all within the working environment. Taking a path of sustainability also means carrying out one's business by integrating the economic, social and environmental dimensions with respect for the people and the environment in which it operates. Initiatives in support of the local community, or in favor of organization of the territory, represent a constant commitment for LABA.
Also by joining representative associations, we contribute to the dissemination of concepts such as quality and innovation, corporate culture and sustainability in general. In particular, CONCERIA LABA is registered in the Leather District of Arzignano and in UNIC (National Union of the Tanning Industry), of which Barbara Boschetti is a Director".
Conceria Laba’s Research & Development department has developed solid expertise in the development and industrialization of Chrome-Free tanning processes, with particular focus on zeolite-based technologies. This know-how has enabled us to carry out an in-depth analysis of chromium alternatives, assessing their environmental impact as well as their performance in both production and the finished product.
Today, this technical heritage represents a consolidated know-how, built through years of experimentation with "white" tanning and low-impact systems, which we use to support our partners in technically evaluating the various solutions available on the market.
This historical expertise allows us to engage knowledgeably with customers and the supply chain on sustainability projects.
In this context, we collaborate with specialised local partners to develop increasingly efficient solutions for managing processing by-products, with the goal of reducing waste and enabling their potential reuse in other industrial processes.
Finally, Laba — in close collaboration with Acque del Chiampo S.p.A. and its Experimental Centre — has always been committed to circular economy principles, researching innovative wastewater management for the supply chain. Our aim is to recover and reuse these effluents, after specific treatments, within consortium purification plants. In the near future, we plan to utilise the generated sludge to produce clean energy.
