The work and objectives of Conceria Zabri are aimed at a global vision of the aspects linked to sustainability.
The attention paid to these issues in the fashion sector has in fact become a crucial aspect that Conceria Zabri intends 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 (in English commonly referred to as ESG).
Sustainability
Environmental, economic, social
Our vision
is sustainable
In 2019, ICEC, the
National Leather Certification Body, awarded 23 tanneries precisely because their certifications covered all three of these aspects.
Conceria Zabri is
one of these.

Other certifications and objectives

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. The correct management of substances for the tanning field aims at achieving zero emission of dangerous substances into the wastewater. One of our main goals is to become a model for the entire fashion pipeline: improving environmental efficiency of our supply chain by using safer chemical substances to protect people and our planet.

Sustainability is
also
social
responsibility
Conceria Zabri has implemented a Management System for Social Responsibility in compliance with the norm SA8000 issued by the authority Bureau Veritas. The certification of this standard proves that the combination between development and social responsibility confers huge potential, to which the Company intends to align its organisation as well as its Inspiring, decision-making and associative principles.
Conceria ZABRI S.p.a. provides a timely account of its ability to satisfy the requirements of the norm SA8000 through the following documents:
Our race to green migration
Fashion companies are stepping up their efforts to adopt more sustainable practices. Environmental responsibility is now a fundamental aspect and, for this reason, in 2024 Conceria Zabri has launched two important initiatives: the calculation of the Carbon Footprint GHG to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions and the installation of photovoltaic panels to reduce their impact.


CARBON FOOTPRINT
In 2024, the company began a process of evaluating its greenhouse gas emissions and drafted the 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 that we have already taken charge of:
- Improving energy efficiency in our production processes;
- Use of renewable energy sources through the installation of photovoltaic panels (it became operational in early 2025, furthermore we use green energy for the part still purchased);
- Optimization of waste management and promotion of recycling which, thanks to correct selection, to date, we recover 98% of waste (but we have set ourselves goals for further improvement);
- Analyzing our supply chain to reduce indirect emissions.
SOLAR PANELS
From today we can say that “The power of the sun is at the service of Conceria Zabri, tradition and innovation under the same 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 working to generate over 322,000 kWh in a year, which is estimated to cover around 30% of our energy needs;
- The remaining part of the energy is purchased from certified renewable sources. Our production therefore takes place with 100% clean energy;
- It is estimated that each year we will reduce the emission of 128,800 kg of CO₂. The equivalent of planting 5,900 trees.
In confirmation of our commitments, the following dashboard allows you to see the production of our plant in real time.
