Outdoor footwear brand HANWAG recently published its 2030 Impact Plan, outlining its ambitions across transparency, materials, durability and fairness. A key focus area is increasing visibility into its leather supply chain and improving traceability back to the origin of raw materials.
As part of this journey, HANWAG highlights its collaboration with TextileGenesis®
“Since 2026, we’ve been working with TextileGenesis® to extend digital traceability across our leather supply chain, all the way back to the origin of the raw material.”
One insight from the report stands out in particular: while HANWAG initially expected engaging suppliers beyond direct business partners to be challenging, the company found many suppliers willing to participate and share the information needed to build a transparent supply chain. This demonstrates that meaningful traceability is achievable when supported by the right processes and technology.
HANWAG’s Impact Plan demonstrates how traceability is evolving from a compliance exercise into a strategic capability that helps brands build greater visibility, strengthen supplier engagement and create trusted sustainability data foundations.
We’re proud to support HANWAG on this journey and encourage readers to explore the full report for more insights into their sustainability strategy and approach to traceability.
