Certified & Compliant

What our certifications actually mean

Badges are easy to put on a website. Here's what each one actually verifies, who audits it, and how it connects to the products in our catalogue.

GRS

Global Recycled Standard

An international standard that verifies how much recycled material a product actually contains, and tracks it through every stage of production.

BSCI

amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative

A social compliance audit framework focused on the people making the products — fair wages, safe conditions, and no child or forced labour.

FSC

Forest Stewardship Council

An international standard for forest-based materials — certifying that the wood and paper in a product came from responsibly managed forests.

ISO 9001:2015

Quality Management Systems

The world's most widely used quality management standard — certifying a company's internal process, not a single product.

Sedex 4Pillar

Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA)

A single ethical-trade audit covering four areas at once: labour standards, health & safety, environmental practice, and business ethics.

Urban Glow

Sustaine Collection

Urban Glow is one of our own collection names, not a third-party certification — we're still finalising the full write-up for this page.

Waste2Gear

Recycled Ocean Bound Plastic Fabric

A real material partner — not a certification body — that collects and cleans ocean-bound plastic waste and weaves it into the fabric behind our recycled-plastic bags and pouches.
