Every NIBA Rug Collections rug carries the GoodWeave label, your best possible assurance that these rugs are made without child labor.
GoodWeave was founded on a simple premise: If enough people demand certified child-labor-free rugs, manufacturers will only employ skilled, adult artisans and the exploitation of children in the rug industry will come to an end.
GoodWeave recruits rug producers and importers to make and sell rugs that are made without illegal child labor. By agreeing to adhere to strict no-child-labor guidelines and by permitting random inspections of their carpet looms, manufacturers earn the right to place the certified and individually numbered GoodWeave label on their carpets. If inspectors find children working on looms, they are offered the opportunity to go to school instead, and producers and importers lose the privilege to use the GoodWeave label.
1.75% of the cost of every NIBA Rug Collections rug purchased goes to GoodWeave.
