I work with a range of rug vendors. Is it a problem to sell GoodWeave certified rugs and non-certified rugs side-by-side?
For rugs sourced from India and Nepal––two countries where GoodWeave works and where the illegal child labor problem is most serious—the GoodWeave label offers the best possible assurance that no child labor was used. There are many beautiful rugs produced in other countries that are not part of GoodWeave but that might be involved with other social responsibility projects. Our current retailers tell us that their positive association with GoodWeave actually enhances sales of their entire rug inventory.
