NSF International highlighting sustainability solutions

NSF International's certifications include Global Traceable Down Standard, Responsible Down Standard, Responsible Wool Standard, Organic Content Standard, Recycled Claim Standard, and Global Recycled Standard.

"NSF’s independent, third-party validation of textile content claims can support and protect brands by demonstrating their commitment to sustainability and traceability, as well as strengthening customer trust in farm and animal welfare-related product claims," said Rashmi Chakrabarty, NSF's South Asia business development manager.

"As preferred fibres and material commitments in the textile industry continue to grow, the role of core material standards supporting preferred materials becomes increasingly important. If you don’t know the truth – you can’t tell the truth!" Chakrabarty added.

"The auditing and certification process can often be misunderstood by many key stakeholders, including sustainability leads, product development staff and compliance and sourcing professionals. NSF makes the process straightforward," she said.

NSF International is a global, independent organisation that writes standards and tests and certifies products to minimise adverse health effects and protect the environment in 180 countries across all major industries.

"Additionally, the rest of our sustainability portfolio is uniquely structured to assist you in measuring and improving your social and environmental impacts. We diagnose key risks and opportunities, design tailored and feasible solutions, and deliver results to build resiliency, operational efficiency and brand reputation," said Chakrabarty.

NSF International's offerings include sustainability strategy development, sustainability reporting, and regenerative agriculture strategy, including Regenerative Organic Certification.
