Dip in LWG coverage for VF
US brand Timberland sourced 98 tonnes of regenerative leather for boots in fiscal 2025.

The VF Corp-owned brand has been investing in leather sourced from ranches that employ regenerative practices for more than five years.

The figures have been published in VF’s Environmental & Social Responsibility Report for 2025.

In the document, the group reported 90% of its footwear leather is from Leather Working Group-audited tanneries. However, in 2021 it hit a target of 100% of footwear leather from LWG tanneries. It is unclear whether it has moved suppliers, or whether the same tanneries have not renewed their audits.
