“Environmental preservation is at the top our priorities. As an organization, we're constantly raising the bar on environmental performance.” Scott Landis, Director of Human Resources, Americas Eagle Ottawa is passionate about protecting the environment. We were the first automotive leather supplier to implement two landmark innovations: water-based finishing systems and automotive “chrome free” leather. Our recyclable and biodegradable non-chrome leather is recognized as the softest in the industry. We feel we have a responsibility to keep our planet cleaner and safer. We've designed our products with waste management in mind, complying with world initiatives, and constantly looking for innovative ways to reduce and recycle waste. These efforts have earned us numerous government and industry awards and has earned us the reputation as THE most environmentally friendly automotive-leather supplier in the world. Eagle Ottawa has formalized its longstanding commitment to the environment by establishing an environmental policy and a management system to implement this policy. This policy meets the criteria of the ISO 14001 environmental management standards.
