It is called Terra Carta and it is the manifesto of SMI – Sustainable Markets Initiative, a green dissemination project launched by His Royal Highness Charles of England. A programmatic document that works to co-opt within it the most attentive and proactive private and associative subjects in the green field. Since last December, UNIC \u2013 Concerie Italiane has also been a member, by invitation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On 17 December 2021 SMI –<\/strong> Sustainable Markets Initiative<\/strong> (a project launched by His Royal Highness Charles of England) published online the updated list of supporters of Terra Carta, its manifesto. UNIC \u2013 Concerie Italiane<\/strong><\/a> is among them, having accepted the invitation to join. The result is important because it not only represents a high-profile endorsement. It is important because it is the result of a heated debate that arose during the days (at the beginning of November) of COP26<\/strong> between the tanners and those who relentlessly try to denigrate and mystify leather and its circular identity. For example Stella McCartney. And because it offers Italian leather a new means of communicating its constant sustainable upgrading<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The endorsement of Prince Charles<\/strong><\/h4>\n

UNIC has been welcomed into the group of almost 500 signatories (there are 470<\/strong> as we write this post) of Terra Carta. The team cuts across<\/strong> manufacturing and service sectors, is made up mainly of Anglo-Saxon players and has signed up to a “recovery plan that puts Nature, People<\/strong> and Planet<\/strong> at the heart of global value creation<\/strong>“. A process “that will harness the precious and irreplaceable power of nature combined with transformative innovation and the resources of the private sector”, the Prince of Wales explains in a note.<\/p>\n

Like Magna Carta<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Taking its name from the historic Magna Carta<\/strong>,” it reads online, “which inspired belief in people’s fundamental rights<\/strong> and freedoms<\/strong> over 800 years ago, Terra Carta aims to bring people and the planet together.<\/strong> The goal: “To give fundamental rights and values to Nature, ensuring a lasting impact and a tangible legacy for this generation”. To achieve this, the initiative identifies and co-opts those companies in the private sector that are “leaders in their field”. And that “at the same time have a credible roadmap, therefore backed by recognized scientific data” concerning the green management of their activities.<\/p>\n
