Tannery of the Year: China nominations announced
10/09/2009
World Leather magazine and its Tannery of the Year partners are delighted to announce the names of the tanneries that have been nominated for the Awards for China.
There are ten tanneries on the list, all of which will receive recognition of their achievement, including permission to use the special Tannery of the Year Awards logo on corporate material for three years.
Two of the ten tanneries will be shortlisted. These two finalists will receive in-depth coverage in the October-November issue of World Leather and will then go forward to represent China at the inaugural Tannery of the Year Awards event that will take place at APLF in March 2010.
In alphabetical order, the ten tanneries are:
- Ecco, Xiamen.
- Hebei Dongming Leather Co.
- ISA TanTec, Guangzhou.
- Prime Asia, Dongguan.
- Simona Tanning, Huizhou.
- Xing Ye Leather Technology Co, Jinjiang City.
- YuLin City FuYing Leather Co.
- Zhejiang Kaiyuan Leather Co.
- Zhejiang Tongtianxing Group Joint-Stock Co.
- Zibo Dahuanjiu Polygrace Tannery Group Co.
Congratulations to all our nominated tanneries.
We shall announce the two finalists from this group in the coming weeks.
After China, the attention of the Tannery of the Year Awards will move to the Americas.
With the focus on corporate social responsibility, the programme's aim is to identify the two best tanneries in five regions around the world: China, the rest of Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe. We will publish in World Leather in-depth reports into what makes these tanneries shining examples of good practice in all aspects of corporate social responsibility: environmental concerns, good relationships with employees, partners, suppliers and the local community, commitment to innovation and financial probity.
