Learn About Our Certifications.

In a world where ethical sourcing and environmental stewardship are more critical than ever, our supply partners, like the New Zealand Merino Company (NZM) stand at the forefront of sustainable practices. NZM supplies the world's leading ethical wool under the ZQ brand, championing the highest standards for fiber quality, animal welfare, and social responsibility, all while combating climate change with regenerative practices. The certification that encapsulates our commitment to regeneration and sustainability is ZQRX, the world's first regenerative agriculture index. Developed in collaboration with industry leaders like Allbirds, Icebreaker, and Smartwool, ZQRX goes beyond sustainability; it's a dynamic, ongoing quest for improvement that benefits the environment, animals, and communities intergenerationally. Alongside ZQRX, certifications such as the Textile Exchange's Climate+ goal, the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), the New Zealand Fernmark Program, and the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) reinforce our dedication to reducing emissions, promoting ethical practices, and ensuring product safety and biodegradability. For our sheets and duvet covers, we work with small-scale cotton farmers to advance soil health and biodiversity, fostering tangible, positive impacts on the land. With these rigorous standards and certifications, consumers can rest easy knowing that our textiles, including our organic bedding, are not only environmentally friendly but also free from harmful chemicals and safe for both the planet and our customers.
