Standards Transition

In 2021, we began a sweeping revision of our standards framework with the aim of developing a harmonized system that incorporates outcomes aligned with our climate and nature strategy. Known as “the unified standard” during its development, the Materials Matter Standard was released with its official name for its pilot testing version. Bringing our standards under this framework will let us track and communicate progress more efficiently and effectively across all of the fibers and materials in the scope of our certification system, while increasing the value for participants. You can learn more about the development of the Materials Matter Standard in our project plan.
