Leather industry hits back

摘要

In 2014, World bather launched a series of essays under the title Nothing to Hide. It ran for several years, with the material appearing in the magazine and then becoming available free of charge on a dedicated website. The essays, 15 in total, are still available under an open-source agreement, for journalists, universities, companies and consumers all over the world to use. Starting in early 2021, World Leather will begin updating the essays. Nothing to Hide essays explain the science, technology and ecology that underpin the modern leather industry. All contributors are respected authorities in industry and academia. Since the launch of the series, industry bodies and research institutions across the globe have cited the Nothing To Hide essays frequently in their work. This is a world in which nothing can be hidden, so organisations that want to prosper have to make sure they have nothing to hide. The phrase comes from Greg Page, the retired chief executive of Cargill, in a speech about the company's main area of business, producing and marketing food. It can just as easily apply to the leather industry.
