ESG Policy

At Royal Smit & Zoon, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Driven by our mission to create a sustainable leather value chain, together, we recognize our responsibility to create lasting value for future generations – not only within our own family, but also for our employees, customers, business partners, communities, and society as a whole. Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) approach is therefore a fundamental pillar of our business strategy and long-term continuity.

The Royal Smit & Zoon ESG Policy forms the foundation of our sustainability strategy and actions. It outlines how we manage our most material impacts, risks, and opportunities, while reinforcing our commitment to responsible business practices across our global operations.

Grounded in internationally recognized standards and principles, our ESG Policy applies to all Royal Smit & Zoon entities and employees worldwide. It serves as an integral part of Drops of Difference, our Sustainability Strategy 2030, providing the framework, principles and guidance needed to ensure effective implementation of our broader sustainability goals.
