The Tuscan leather district will shortly see the confirmation of its EMAS certification, the international environmental sustainability certification used to monitor the activities of tannery associations, enterprises and local public administrations. The three-year certification was last renewed in 2013, and over the past few days, the certifying body has completed its checks on the activities coordinated by the district’s EMAS Committee. This includes its tanning associations, which receive certification programme support from the Sant’Anna School in Pisa, and the communes of Santa Croce sull’Arno, Fucecchio, San Miniato and Castelfranco di Sotto. There were positive outcomes for the checks performed, which focussed specifically on the communes of Santa Croce sull’Arno and Fucecchio. With the verification phase complete, the results were sent to the Environment Ministry, which will formalise the certification renewal over the coming months.
