The responsible wool standard of textile Exchange refers to the certification of sustainable wool in the end product. The standard stands for transparency and traceability along the supply chain. RWS is only wool from the sheep. There are other standards for alpaca, merino or cashmere.
Social norms and criteria are covered by the RWS.
In addition to organizational advantages, the standard refers particularly to animal welfare, mulesing-free scissors of the sheep, an adequate attitude and feeding, as well as to the use of chemicals in the further processing of the raw material to yarn and fabrics. In order to distinguish a piece of clothing with this standard, the article must contain at least 5% certified wool. We only use RWS-certified wool for our products. These products are marked with the standard.

According to the RWS standard, we are verified by Ecocert Greenlife S.A.S. With the certification number: TE-00286289

As already mentioned for the RWS, we work with certified textile material origin. All products that contain Kashmir are certified according to The Good Cashmere Standard BY ABTF®. This standard is committed to the well -being of the goats. The subject of animal welfare is most extensive. The standard, the so -called five domains, is followed by Mellor and Reid: nutrition, environment, health, behavior and mental condition. The GCS follows the three core principles promotion of animal welfare in cashmere production, support of the cashmere goat holder and protection of the environment.
The task of the farmers in this context is to protect biodiversity and the reason on which the goats are kept. In return, the GCS regulates social aspects such as the ban on child labor, correct payment and occupational safety. This is an important aspect for Fynch-Hatton.

The GCS thus covers ecological and social norms. You can find more on the subject here.

The Better Cotton Initiative campaigned for the production of sustainable cotton. The initiative focuses on seven different principles. These are crop protection, water, soil quality, biodiversity, fiber quality, decent working conditions and management systems.
These principles support the farmers to grow cotton in a way that is better for themselves, the environment and the environment.

Fynch-Hatton buys Better Cotton according to the measure balance principle. This means that Better Cotton cannot be traced back to the garment, may be mixed with conventional cotton and does not have to be included in the garment. You can find more information on this procedure and the standard here.

In addition to the use of sustainable materials, Fynch-Hatton is particularly important to the well-being of workers in the production countries. Fynch-Hatton is one Amfori BSCI member And produces exclusively in production facilities certified by Amfori.
Amfori Bsci is one social sustainability standard. Amfori does not issue certificates at the product level, but for individual production facilities. These are rated with a rating of A-E. We only accept a rating of A-C.
Amfori provides its members a number of tools to improve their supply chain. Among other things, this includes a code of conduct that plays a role in improving supplier contracts. Various areas are illuminated in regular audits and companies receive a ranking on topics such as fair payment, occupational safety, child labor, protection of workers and working hours.
With these aids, possible weaknesses can be identified and remedied.
Since Amfori BSCI does not apply to individual products, the standard cannot be seen on the garment, but all products are manufactured in certified production facilities.
