Responsible Down Standard: Call for input on new draft

23/01/2015
The Textile Exchange has thrown down the gauntlet to interested parties to help shape the Responsible Down Standard (RDS).

The standard was written by the North Face and was ‘gifted’ to the industry via the TE at the start of 2014.

The revised standard is a result of the work of the International Working Group.

“We are very grateful for their contribution of time and expertise into making this the strongest possible standard for the down industry,” said the TE.

The draft can be found on the TE website and comments must be submitted by February 19.
