What is RWS audit?

Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certification applies to all supply chain sites of wool from the farm, processing of wool, assembly of the final products, up to the seller in the last business-to-business transaction. Farms are certified to the Animal Welfare and Land Management Modules of the RWS.

RWS is pressing for a progressive approach to animal and environmental welfare. Give the industry a tool to recognize farming best practices. Make sure that wool comes from farms that take a progressive approach to land management and respect animal welfare. Ensure strong chain of custody for certified materials as they move along the supply chain.

What is IWTO Combined Certificate

Wool certificates provide information to the users and buyers of wool. Every wool bale offered at auction is tested to confirm the wool’s quality and characteristics. Nearly all wool is bought and sold with an IWTO test certificate.

IWTO licenses laboratories around the world to issue IWTO test certificates, the “gold standard” in the industry. These wool-testing laboratories are audited annually and conform to the international standards set by their local standardisation body. The IWTO laboratories test the wool to international standards and according to the wool testing specifications set out in the International Wool Textile Organisation’s White and Red Books.

Wool is a natural fibre and each batch will vary largely in length, colour, fineness and content. Testing is performed with a grab sample, a sample of the wool taken from the centre of the bale.

What is the Higg Index FSLM?

The Higg FSLM measures the social labor practices facilities have in place in the manufacturing process and helps improve the conditions for workers in the supply chain. These measurements span across wages, health and safety, and overall worker treatment. When a facility uses the FSLM, they are provided an overview of their performance and given specific areas to focus their efforts in order to progress.

With many retailers requiring a Code of Conduct, you’ll need a way to ensure yours is comprehensive and verifiable. The FSLM is a trusted certification. You can feel good about being transparent with your stakeholders about the social and labor guidelines you’ve put in place. And with the FSLM benchmarking feature, you can compare your facility’s performance yearly which will give them the ability to improve and lets you compare your scores with other companies like yours.
