Responsible Wool Standard

The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is a certification that ensures wool comes from farms that prioritize animal welfare and sustainable land management. It requires sheep to be treated ethically, with access to outdoor grazing, and prohibits mulesing (ripping skin from around the sheep’s tail). Additionally, farms must maintain healthy, well-managed land to prevent overgrazing and environmental damage. By choosing RWS-certified wool, consumers can support ethical farming practices that promote animal well-being and environmental responsibility.
