Technologies
The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) aims to ensure that down and feathers come from animals that have not been subjected to an unnecessary harm. The RDS is an independent, voluntary global standard, which means that companies can choose to certify their products to the RDS, even if there is no legislation requiring them to do so. The RDS was developed and revised over three years, with the input of animal welfare groups, industry experts, brands and retailers. The standard recognises and rewards the best practices in animal welfare. Not only farmers, but brands and supply chain members need to meet their obligations to respect the Five Freedoms of the animals that provide their down and feathers, and to meet the trust of consumers that are choosing RDS products. Five Freedoms:
Freedom from Hunger and Thirst - by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour
Freedom from Discomfort - by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area
Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease - by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment
Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour - by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind
Freedom from Fear and Distress - by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
Key points in the standard:
Any removal of down and feathers from live birds (Live-plucking or molt-harvesting) is prohibited
Force feeding is prohibited
Holistic respect for animal welfare of the birds from hatching to slaughter
RDS down and feathers is properly identified
Each stage in the supply chain is audited by a professional, third party certification body
Only products with 100% vcertified down and feathers carry the RDS logo
