Furmark® is the comprehensive global certification and traceability system for natural fur that guarantees animal welfare and environmental standards.
Furmark® is the comprehensive global certification and traceability system for natural fur that guarantees animal welfare and environmental standards.
It encompasses a number of individual certification programmes. Each programme has a specific, independently-developed science-based protocol or standard. The respective programmes are then subject to third-party assessment and certified by a recognised certification body.
The certification system itself also includes a traceability component (accessible to the consumer) and a quality mark (indicating certification).
Furmark® products are traceable, verified, and guaranteed to have met recognised standards. With Furmark®, stages of the supply chain is subject to certification, third-party assessment, and traceability.
We recognise that the public, regulators and those in fashion do not have a clear understanding of the fur trade. The International Fur Federation (IFF) has therefore created a single certification framework for natural fur, as well as introducing new component parts which are subject to certification. This is Furmark®.
Furmark® reaffirms the status and value of natural sustainable fur; Furmark® reaffirms the collective effort to deliver global, recognised standards.
