As we predominantly use raw fibre obtained from animals, our animal welfare policy and actions are critical within our sustainability claims. The welfare of the cashmere goats is monitored through legitimate industry-approved accreditation. As a proud partner of The Good Cashmere Standard® by AbTF, we will only source sustainable cashmere which it certifies comes from goats that have been treated responsibly.

What we're doing now

- Our yarn is certified to The Good Cashmere Standard®
Animal welfare is at the heart of The Good Cashmere Standard®, which is why it incorporates the Five Freedoms as defined by the Farm Animal Welfare Council, such as no animal should be subjected to hunger, thirst, discomfort, pain, injury or disease. Animals must also have the freedom to express normal behaviour and live a life free from fear and distress.

- The Good Cashmere Standard® contains clear and comprehensive criteria regarding:

feed, water and nutrition
indoor/outdoor living environment
health, herd, breeding and kid management
physical alterations
combing and shearing
handling and transport
