Benetton secures RDS certification
Fashion brand United Colors of Benetton has obtained Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certification, which safeguards the welfare of the geese and ducks that provide the down and feathers used in its collections.

RDS independently certifies all aspects related to the birds’ wellbeing and care, including traceability of the feathers and down from their origin to the end product.

United Colors of Benetton voluntarily decided to pursue the RDS certification, opening its doors to investigation, field visits and inspections from independent certification bodies. Once the evaluation process was complete, these organisations confirmed that the geese and ducks involved in the production of Benetton products live free from ill-treatment and constraints.

The RDS logo will be applied to all Benetton products containing feathers and down, guaranteeing their total compliance with the standard.
