13/10/2025
Mr Wright, currently vice-president for advanced technological developments at accessories group Tapestry, has worked in the leather industry for 35 years.
He has been involved in the LWG, which works to improve the environmental impact of the leather supply chain, since its inception in 2005.
Its board has stakeholders from different parts of the global leather value chain, comprising representatives of four leather manufacturers, four finished product brands and one supplier.
After his election as the new chair of the board, David Wright told Footwearbiz that he was looking forward to the role. He said: “It’s been some time since the representative of a brand has been the chair, but I was there at the beginning of LWG and I know it is working hard to achieve. I am looking forward to helping the group move forward.”
