AQC Rating for Tanneries & Traders
In alignment with AQC’s mission, and to meet the requirements of Watch Brands, we have launched the AQC Tanners Rating and the AQC Traders Rating initiatives. These straightforward and relevant tools enable tanneries and leather traders to showcase their dedication to sustainability.
The rating system comprises progressive and cumulative steps :
STANDARD → SILVER → GOLD → PLATINUM
It undergoes at least mandatory annual review and remains subject to ad hoc updates at any time to incorporate new certifications or changes in the supply chain.
For the Tanneries, rating requirement applies to its entire supply chain and must cover the 4 major leather manufacturing steps : beamhouse, tanning, crusting and finishing.
For the Traders, they must demonstrate to AQC that their supply chain is fully compliant with the rating requirements.
