Certifications
The certifications your rug — and your brand story — travels with.
Six certifications carried by our production. Audit-ready documentation available on request — the same documents your ESG team uses in its own reporting.
GoodWeave
Independent audit-based certification against child, forced and bonded labour.
The industry's most recognised ethical assurance — audit teams inspect looms and worker households, and the certification mark travels with every certified piece.
RWS (Responsible Wool Standard)
Animal welfare + land management + chain of custody, all the way to the finished rug.
Textile Exchange's farm-level certification. What buyers get: audit-ready documentation for their own ESG / sustainability reporting.
Oeko-Tex Standard 100
Every fibre, dye and backing tested for over 350 harmful substances.
Enables market entry to EU / US buyers with chemical-safety requirements. Common in healthcare, wellness and children's specification.
GRS (Global Recycled Standard)
Verified recycled inputs with chain-of-custody documentation.
Required for buyers with recycled-content sustainability claims; sits alongside RWS in most ESG stories.
ISO 9001:2015
International quality-management-system standard.
Process discipline, traceability and continuous improvement — the operating system beneath every product-level cert.
SMETA
Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit.
Labour standards, health and safety, environment and business ethics audit. Common requirement for hospitality and mass-retail supply.
