From Policy to Proof: Ensuring Animal Welfare in Textile Supply Chains. The vital components of robust certifications and how best to enable informed consumers

Feb 13, 2026 | 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Description

Organised by FOUR PAWS International Animal welfare is now recognised as a material issue in textiles and is explicitly reflected in the 2023 OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This session will explore how animal welfare can be embedded into due diligence by focusing on two essential levers: credible certification and strong transparency. Insights from the 2025 Certification Insights Report and the Behind the Wool Transparency Report will outline the building blocks of trustworthy assurance, highlight key gaps across current schemes, and show how brands communicate their sourcing practices. Participants will gain clear guidance on how to turn policy into proof and strengthen trust across global supply chains. More information and registration
