Animal welfare

Animal welfare

Down and feathers are a by-product of meat production. It is important to us that the breeding animals from which our feather raw material comes, have decent and fair living conditions. The main criteria in this regard include stocking density, unlimited access to feed and water, veterinary care, treatment of sick birds and full compliance with regulations for humane transporting and slaughtering of birds. Our company and our entire supply chain are supervised by independent entities that regularly inspect compliance with animal welfare rules and requirements, including Polish and EU laws (Directive 98/58/EC). Every year we undergo certification of compliance with the requirements of the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) protocol.
