Certified Sustainability
Sustainability certifications are critical in a world filled with greenwashing and vague sustainability claims. We are proud to hold so many certifications for our materials, products and business practices. Our certifications verify that our practices and products are eco-friendly.
FSC® certified
The forest stewardship council (FSC) certification protects our forests and their communities from being damaged.
It shows we’re committed to sustainable sourcing, as FSC-certified forests — and, therefore, the materials they produce — must adhere to strict environmental, social and economic standards.
GOTS-certified
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification takes into account the entire textile supply chain, ensuring it’s environmentally responsible and follows organic manufacturing practices.
Having GOTS-certified products proves a material is at least 70% certified organic natural fibres, as it's traced from the field to the finished product.
GRS-certified
Many products claim to be made from recycled content, but how many are? That’s where the Global Recycling Standard (GRS) certification comes in.
GRS tracks and verifies the recycled material found in products and addresses traceability and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain. If a product is GRS-certified, you can be sure it’s recycled.
Carbon neutral certified
Reducing our carbon footprint is a top priority for us, making it crucial that Weavabel is carbon neutral certified.
We’ve been working with One Carbon World to measure and offset our carbon footprint by reviewing and transforming our production processes, materials, logistics and office locations.
Sedex member
We work closely with Sedex, a sustainability solutions platform that allows us to monitor our supply chains closely, comply with regulations and maintain sustainability.
We use Sedex’s data-driven tools to monitor and ensure our sustainable practices. You can be sure it's a top priority for us at Weavabel.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100
The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 goes beyond sustainability. It ensures every part of a product, has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health.
It ensures no harmful substances have been used throughout the supply chain which could harm the environment.
UKFT member
We’re a member of the UK Fashion & Textile Association (UKFT), a body dedicated to developing the industry through innovation, sustainability and collaboration.
The UKFT works across various sustainability projects, including the new Circular Fashion Innovation Network with the British Fashion Council, waste sorting, digital supply chains and industry programmes.
As a member, we support and are involved in these initiatives, helping the fashion and textiles industry reverse its environmental impact.
ISO 9001 & 14001 certified
ISO 9001 & 14001 are two certifications that monitor business management and procedures.
ISO 9001 assess and evaluates our quality management system. Management must demonstrate their commitment to a sustainable future.
ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS). It provides a framework and guidance on how a business can reduce its impact on the environment.
Higg Index member
We’re a Higg Index member, the Higg Index was developed to help brands like ours measure the sustainability of its products, practices and supply chains.
There are five tools we can use to measure environmental performance so we can analyse the results and make improvements.
This shows our dedication to continuous improvement around sustainability, as well as sharing our eco-friendly practices with our customers.
Retraced collaboration
Retraced is the leading platform for corporate sustainability due diligence in textile and fashion - enabling brands and retailers to be truly transparent.
It connects supply chain companies in a single platform for transparent supplier mapping, product traceability and material traceability.
PEFC certification
Watch this space! We’re in the process of applying for our PEFC certification (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).
When a PEFC logo appears on packaging, it provides assurance that the fibres it was made from were sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests.
