We’re excited to share that two of our factories in Vietnam have officially earned Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certifications!
What do GRS and RWS certifications mean?
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a voluntary, internationally recognized certification that sets the bar for verifying recycled content, ensuring transparency in the supply chain, and upholding strict social, environmental, and chemical standards. The main goal of GRS is to promote the use of recycled materials while ensuring responsible practices from start to finish.
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) guarantees that the wool used in our products comes from farms that care for their animals, treat the land with respect, and follow a transparent supply chain. With RWS certification, we ensure the wool is sourced from farms that meet high standards for animal welfare and sustainable land management.

We pursued these certifications because they’re increasingly important to our customers. As the textile and outdoor industries emphasize sustainability and transparency, certifications like GRS and RWS have become key indicators of responsible manufacturing.
We believe that when companies across the industry adopt the same sustainability frameworks, it strengthens us all. By working together, joining shared certification programs, and using common auditing systems, we create more transparency and boost compliance for everyone involved.
Collaborating across sectors builds trust, drives progress, and makes responsible and sustainable production the norm. We’re proud to be part of this collective effort and look forward to continuing to raise the bar in sustainable manufacturing.
As the industry continues to grow, we take pride in keeping up with trends. Our goal is to support our customers to remain at the forefront of innovation and technological development, all while ensuring a focus on sustainable initiatives.
In addition to the core product – the garments – we like to think of ourselves as a partner offering added value to the cooperation.
