Abstract: 

Today, companies have two challenges in particular: the sustainable awareness and the criticality of the resources. The case illustrates how the green Périgord (French area), faced with different local actors, has the desire to achieve a new sustainable supply chain. The leather industry is presented to show the context then the particularities of the territory and its actors. The central issue in the discussion is to find the main issues of this type of supply chain, how to implicate shareholders through collaboration. Findings of this paper will prove essential for a sustainable supply chain to have sustainable friendly actors, to collaborate and to identify gains for each player. These gains could be in terms of image, monetary, securing of local supply of high quality raw materials, safe products, and local job creation.
