GoodWeave-Certified, Ethically Made Rugs

Erik Lindstrom is a licensed partner of GoodWeave International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending child labor in global rug and textile supply chains while expanding access to education for children in weaving communities.

The GoodWeave certification label provides assurance that a rug was produced in accordance with GoodWeave’s rigorous no-child-labor standard. To earn and display the label, rug exporters and importers—including Erik Lindstrom—must enter into a legally binding licensing agreement, permit unannounced supply-chain inspections and contribute licensing fees that support monitoring, certification, education and community programs.

GoodWeave works throughout major rug-producing regions, including India, Nepal and Afghanistan, as well as consumer markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. Its programs help protect vulnerable children, provide educational opportunities and support families in artisan weaving communities.

When you purchase a GoodWeave-certified rug from Erik Lindstrom, a portion of the purchase supports GoodWeave’s inspection and certification efforts, educational initiatives and programs benefiting former child laborers, weaving communities and their families.

How can I tell if a rug is ethically made?

Look for the GoodWeave certification label. It identifies rugs made by licensed producers and importers whose supply chains are subject to independent, unannounced inspections designed to prevent child labor.
