We want all our wool to be responsibly sourced

We’re on a journey to only using responsibly sourced wool. We will do this by sourcing wool which follows the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) or equivalent schemes’ guidelines, meaning that the wool comes from sheep that are treated well, and lands are managed with consideration for animals, nature and people.

How will we do this?

To ensure that the wool we use is sourced in a responsible way, we need to work to secure full traceability of the wool used in our supply chain. That means we will need to know where all our wool comes from, so that we can support animal welfare throughout the entire wool value chain.
