Water is life 💧

At Mossop Leather we value our natural resources and are conscientious in our approach to manufacturing. We believe every drop counts. 90% of the water used by the tannery is treated and returned to the Drakenstein municipality. Crafting sustainability into every hide.

Workplace Skills Plan: Developing the Next Generation of Leather Innovators🌟👜

At Mossop Leathers, we are committed to nurturing the future of leather innovation. We offer young, unemployed South Africans the opportunity to gain education, work experience, and a valuable skillset in the manufacturing sector.

Unemployed Learnerships: 📚👩‍🎓
Our internal training program, funded by the Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) and coordinated by Mossop Leather, provides fundamental and core models to learners. The practical component includes training on the factory floor (Finishing and Retan). In 2020, fifteen students were found competent, and ten were permanently employed in March 2021. The program has a track record of success, with many graduates securing Junior Manager positions at the tannery.

Internship Program 🔄👨‍💼
Also funded by SETA, this program places students who have completed a national certificate level 6 into our business for practical training. Each intake includes three students from Boland College, a local institution. After 18 months of training, new students take their place. Over half of our past interns have secured permanent placements after completing their training, demonstrating the program's effectiveness in preparing students for the job market.

🌟 Discovering Mossop Leather's Leatherprint Approach 🌟

In today's insightful dive into our Leatherprint Approach, we delve deeper into our commitment to one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with our Ampithreathre, symbolizing our societal role, as we've shared in our previous post. Each Mesh cow artwork embodies an SDG, showcasing applied action towards them. Today, our focus shines on Goal 4: Good Health and Well-being.

At Mossop Leather, we steadfastly uphold the well-being of all stakeholders – our employees, contractors, visitors, and the broader community. We achieve this through a robust framework of policies, committees, infrastructure, and compliance agreements. But our commitment doesn't stop there. We take pride in offering additional support through our on-site clinic, where we provide:

🩺 **On-site Clinic Services:**
A medical sister is available twice a week for family planning, medical assessments, drug screenings, and dispensing medications for minor ailments. Additionally, we administer yearly flu shots. Moreover, all our employees enjoy medical coverage through individual plans or bargaining council arrangements.

👓 **Optometry and Dentistry:**
For employees affiliated with a union, we extend benefits such as eye testing and discounted spectacles from optometrists, along with subsidized visits to dentists.

🤝 Counselling Services:
Recognizing the importance of mental health and future planning, Mossop offers voluntary counselling sessions. Our clinic supports employees in navigating family planning decisions and responsibilities, echoing the United Nations' stance on family planning as pivotal to gender equality and women's empowerment.

At Mossop Leather, we're crafting exquisite leather and fostering a culture of care and well-being. Together, let's stride towards a healthier and happier future.

🌍🤝 Mossop Leathers recognises the United Nations Global Compact as a global movement towards lessening our impact on the planet. 🤝🌍

The United Nations Global Compact serves as a guiding light for organisations worldwide, offering a framework to integrate better and best practices into business operations through the lens of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At Mossop Leather, we recognise the importance of aligning our actions with the UN's SDGs, which focus on human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption efforts. We are wholeheartedly committed to this Compact, and our LEATHERPRINT goals and actions reflect this dedication.

To symbolise our commitment to sustainability visually, we found Cape Town-based artist Gareth Nyandoro to create a strong statement piece in an installation featuring 12 cows. Each cow represents one of the Sustainable Development Goals identified by Mossop, encompassing our efforts for the environment, society, and ethical business practices.

These cows stand as a beautiful testament to our dedication and a constant reminder of the importance of our mission of Our LEATHERPRINT. Let's continue working towards a brighter, better future for all. 🌿🐄

🌟✨ Join us in unveiling the heart of our Leatherprint Initiative! Today, we delve into the profound meaning behind our Ampithreathre circle. 🔄🔍

Our Ampithreathre symbolizes more than just a design—it embodies our unwavering commitment to our community, extending from our dedicated factory team to our broader society. 🤝💙

In the grand tapestry of the LEATHERPRINT, we recognize society as a vital thread. In South Africa, where 32.6% grapple with unemployment, the call for positive change echoes louder than ever. Shockingly, the rate spikes to 46.3% among the youth aged 15–34, emphasizing the urgent need for transformative initiatives.

With a staggering 28 million people relying on grants for social relief—four times the number of taxpayers—our nation faces the harsh reality of poverty exacerbated by detrimental policies, corruption, and mismanagement. It's time to make a difference! 🌍🤲

To uplift our community, Mossop Leathers has identified five robust initiatives to drive social change. The following posts highlight these impactful actions, revealing our commitment to fostering positive transformation.

Look closely, and you'll notice the shape of a key within the Ampithreathre—a poignant reminder. This key symbolizes our collective mission to unlock the untapped potential within our beautiful country and its citizens. 🗝️💚

A resilient community forms the foundation for driving meaningful changes in our business and nurturing a positive impact on the natural world. Stay tuned for more insights, and let's embark on this transformative journey together! 🌈🌱
