Primeasia has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, outlining progress across its environmental and social initiatives while introducing a 5 year sustainability roadmap through 2030. They also announced new climate targets, improved traceability and stronger resource management efforts across its operations.
The roadmap is backed by new Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitments that will guide the company’s sustainability strategy through 2030. In December 2025, Primeasia verified its near term 2035 and long term 2050 net zero targets covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions, including Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions.
“In 2025, we made meaningful strides in our sustainability journey. Most notably, we achieved verification of our science-based emissions reduction targets. … This progress is in large part due to our global teams that work tirelessly and passionately to create positive impact for our business. Sustainability is a journey and we enter the next year ready to build on the progress we have made.”
– Jonathan Clark, CEO, Primeasia Leather
During 2025, the company completed 38 audits and maintained LWG Gold Medal ratings for its tanneries. Primeasia is also introducing an Operating Unit (OU) scorecard to shift from a reactive compliance model to a more proactive approach.
