Responsibility begins at the source

Our biological wastewater treatment plant treats more than one million litres of process water every day.

80% of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 energy supply is provided without fossil CO₂ emissions, through the use of green electricity and district heating generated from renewable resources. Compensated CO₂ emissions associated with the use of natural gas are not included in this share. Our electricity comes from 100% renewable sources.

In 2024, our ECO₂L-certified production achieved a CO₂ value 98% below the applicable ECO₂L benchmark value.*

Our environmental performance is further documented through recognised certifications, including the Blue Angel and the corresponding OEKO-TEX® certification. In 2013, our commitment was recognised by the German Sustainability Award in the “Blue Angel Award” category. We remain firmly committed to continuing along this path.

Leather with attitude

For us, leather is not a fashion product. It is a durable material that is produced with care and allowed to age with dignity. By refining a by-product of the food industry, HELLER-LEDER creates a high-quality natural material that can be used and preserved for many years.

Our products are free of chromium VI, contain no problematic substances, and meet strict international standards. But more importantly, they embody an attitude. An attitude that says: authenticity is not a question of trends. It is a question of conscience.
