Conceria Zabri’s work and objectives are aimed at a global vision of sustainability issues.
The attention paid to these issues in the fashion industry has become a crucial aspect that Conceria Zabri aims to pursue. Often, when we talk about sustainability, we immediately think of the concept of “environmental sustainability,” although the aspects to consider are much broader and commonly divided into three macro areas: environmental, social, and economic sustainability (commonly referred to as ESG).

In 2019, ICEC, the
National Leather Certification Body, recognized 23 tanneries precisely because their certifications covered all three aspects.
Conceria Zabri is
one of them.
We aim to work to the highest quality standards to leave a sustainable environment for future generations.

Green Objectives
Conceria Zabri is part of a pilot project of companies selected on an international level and is therefore one of the very few tanneries that has reached the progressive level of the protocollo ZDHC. Proper substance management for the tanning industry aims to achieve zero emissions of hazardous substances in wastewater, which will be confirmed through thorough wastewater analyses. One of our goals is to become a model for the entire fashion supply chain, improving the environmental efficiency of our supply chain by using safer chemicals to protect people and our planet.
Sustainability is
also
social
responsibility
Conceria Zabri has implemented a Social Responsibility Management System compliant with the SA8000 standard, issued by Bureau Veritas. Certification to this standard demonstrates the significant potential of combining development and social responsibility, which the company intends to align with both its organization and its guiding, decision-making, and associative principles.

Sustainable Economy
Our race to green migration
Fashion companies are stepping up efforts to adopt more sustainable practices. Environmental responsibility is now a key concern, and for this reason, in 2024, Conceria Zabri launched two important initiatives: calculating its GHG carbon footprint to assess greenhouse gas emissions and installing photovoltaic panels to reduce their impact.
Less emissions
CARBON FOOTPRINT
In 2024, the company began evaluating its greenhouse gas emissions and prepared its report according to the UNI EN ISO 14064-1 standard.
This study has allowed us to identify key points on which to intervene strategically for the reduction of CO₂ in the short and long term, which we have already taken care of:
- Improving energy efficiency in our production processes;
- I use renewable energy sources through the installation of photovoltaic panels (which became operational in early 2025, and we also use green energy for the portion still purchased);
- Optimizing waste management and promoting recycling, which, thanks to proper sorting, currently allows us to recover 98% of waste (but we have set ourselves goals for further improvement);
- Analyzing our supply chain to reduce indirect emissions.
The power of the sun
SOLAR PANELS
From today we can say that “The power of the sun is at the service of Conceria Zabri, tradition and innovation under one roof.”
Two photovoltaic systems have been installed in our company since January, in summary:
- 2,500 m2 of covered surface;
- over 900 panels for a power of over 427 kWp;
- 11 inverters at work to generate over 322,000 kWh in a year, which is estimated to cover around 30% of our energy needs;
- The remaining energy is purchased from certified renewable sources. Our production therefore uses 100% clean energy;
- It is estimated that we will reduce CO₂ emissions by 128,800 kg per year. This is equivalent to planting 5,900 trees.
As a testament to our commitment, the following dashboard allows you to view our plant’s production in real time.
