GRS includes additional standards for environmental treatment, social responsibility requirements and chemical limitations, which can reduce the harmful effects of production on people and the environment and ensure the sustainability of product processing.
OCS Certification

The GOTS label proves the organic content of textile products and is a reliable guarantee of environmental and social responsibility in the supply chain. Certified end products may include fiber products, yarns, fabrics, clothing, home textiles, mattresses, personal hygiene products, and food contact textiles.

Ensure that certified materials have a strong chain of custody as they move through the supply chain.
RDS Certification
???????
The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is because down used to fill consumer products comes from production and processing supply chains around the world. As a result, retailers and consumers are unable to fully understand the source of the production of products and their production conditions. This situation has recently raised concerns about the welfare of waterfowl and the lack of traceability of down products. In order to ensure the accuracy of the life of the final product, it is necessary to form the traceability of down from the source to the final product.
