Ensures wool comes from farms with progressive land management and respect for animal welfare.
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is a voluntary global standard that addresses the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on, ensuring best practices in animal welfare and progressive land management, and tracks wool through the supply chain.
RWS gives brands and consumers confidence that wool is responsibly sourced. IQS supports the wool supply chain in achieving RWS certification.
