What this mark means

RDS covers the welfare of ducks and geese supplying down and feathers within certified supply chains. The mark concerns certified down and feathers, not a general welfare endorsement for all materials in a product.

Before you add it to your label

  1. Confirm the down supply chain and the permitted finished-product label.
  2. Check Textile Exchange’s current claims policy and Materials Matter transition guidance before ordering new labels.
  3. Include the source and approval reference with your artwork for the final label review.
