Scottish Leather Group are manufacturers of fine quality leather for the world’s most prestigious brands across the automotive, aviation and luxury sectors. Having evolved their craft over centuries, Scottish Leather Group have a long-standing commitment to the highest environmental standards and are well advanced in their sustainability journey.
Since 2023, Material has worked with Scottish Leather Group’s family of businesses (including Bridge of Weir and Muirhead) across multiple projects to support the communication of their sustainability advancements and innovations in leather manufacturing.
Scottish Leather Group initially engaged us to help the Group to bring their innovative BioTan and FreeTan technologies to market, through PR activity and the creation of branded video content. These communications were used across various touchpoints to explain the features and benefits of the technologies, with a focus on environmental sustainability.
We have also supported the group to drive more utility and function for their 21st annual Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, which provides rigorous detail on the Group’s sustainability commitments and progress. We created a highlights film to spotlight the key messages and achievements from the report, as well as breakout vignettes to be used across social platforms at both a Group and brand level. The creation of this accessible, shorter form supporting content enabled Scottish Leather Group to socialise their ESG highlights to both internal and external audiences in a concise and compelling way.
We have since worked carefully with Scottish Leather Group to uphold their sustainability credentials and develop key messaging around complex topics within the leather manufacturing industry, including supply chain transparency and circularity.
Through our work with Scottish Leather Group, we have embarked on the journey with them to confidently communicate their industry leading position on sustainable leather manufacturing, whilst continuing to support their commitment to the evolution of leather production and innovative solutions for the future.
“Scottish Leather Group strives to be at the forefront of sustainability and innovation within the leather manufacturing industry, and Material’s support has been integral in helping us to develop our positioning and communicate our progress in these specific areas. The team have an in-depth understanding of complex topics and are able to simplify these in a very considered way, whilst helping us to ensure compliancy across our communications.”
