Last week, our team had the pleasure of attending the 2023 Textile Exchange Conference in London. The event emphasized the apparel and home textiles industry's role in addressing climate change and helping to meet the IPCC's goal of limiting global warming to a maximum of 2 degrees Celsius. It called for innovative, next-gen materials like hemp, and other bast fibers, to meet climate targets. Yet, certification and transparency are critical to delivering on the climate-smart promise of hemp. The Responsible Hemp Standard offers that solution and we are eager to act on the momentum fostered at the conference in 2024. "From field to finished garment, RHS -Textiles certification ensures complete traceability and the use of sustainable and ethical practices across the global hemp fabric supply chain. This allows brands to demonstrate their commitment to responsible sourcing of hemp fiber, the same as all other natural and synthetic fibers used in apparel manufacturing.” — Alfredo Gonzalez, CEO of INCCert Sandra Marquardt Eric Singular #textiles #apparel #hemp #sustainableagriculture #industrialhemp #bastfibers #innovation #sustainablefashion #london #textileindustry #TextileExchange #sustainability #climateaction #climatesmart #bastfibers #responsiblehemp #transparency #certification #inccert #ethicalsourcing #traceability #apparel #nextgenmaterials #climatetargets

About us
INCCert is a mission-driven organization that develops globally recognized standards and certification programs fostering the growth of new markets for emerging commodities. In partnership with Peterson Projects & Solutions, INCCert developed the Responsible Hemp Standard ("RHS"), a certification program that standardizes the industrial hemp supply chain across the crop’s many uses including apparel, nonwovens, automotive, building materials, food, feed, and plastics. Hemp raw materials within the RHS program, spanning the breadth of the supply chain from genetics to manufacturing, are audited by Control Union and tracked and traced by an immutable SaaS platform powered by Bext360, verifying carbon emissions along the supply chain and validating label sustainability claims. RHS certification allows manufacturers to demonstrate their commitment to responsible sourcing of hemp raw materials while providing full transparency to customers regarding the origin and sustainability of their products. INCCert’s body of standards: *Validate through chain-of-custody auditing and track-and-trace technology that next-generation, climate-smart ingredients and materials are produced sustainably, ethically, and to the highest agricultural and manufacturing standards *Foster supply chain confidence in consistently and responsibly produced climate-smart commodities *Legitimize ESG initiatives and claims made by manufacturers and benchmark climate-smart raw material production against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
