To receive the Goodweave certification, manufacturers sign a legally binding contract to:
- produce carpets without illegal child labor
- register all looms with the Goodweave Foundation
- allow access to looms for unannounced inspections
- pay associated license fees.
To ensure compliance, carpet looms are monitored regularly by inspectors trained and supervised by RugMark. To protect against counterfeit labeling, each label is numbered so its origin can be traced back to the loom on which the rug was produced. As an extra assurance that children will not be employed, nonprofit child welfare organizations not affiliated with Goodweave are given access to looms and factories inspected by RugMark.
Magdalena York Collection is a licensed Goodweave importer and is legally permitted to sell carpets carrying the Goodweave Logo.
