New consumer-facing website for the Responsible Down Standard

17/07/2015

The Textile Exchange has announced the launch of a consumer-facing website for the Responsible Down Standard (RDS).

The webpage, at www.responsibledown.org, features tools to communicate the purpose of the RDS with consumers, a list of companies ready to communicate, and guidance for companies just starting their engagement with RDS.

The standard has been named OutDoor Industry Award Winner 2015 in the category of Sustainable Innovations at the Germany-based trade show, currently under way in Friedrichshafen.

The standard was ‘gifted’ to the TE by the North Face for use by the wider industry.
