What RHS Guarantees: Turning Sustainability Claims into Actionable Standards
In today’s fashion industry, saying you “support sustainability” is no longer enough.
As EU due diligence rules tighten and greenwashing is increasingly scrutinized, brands need proof, not promises. That’s where the Responsible Hemp Standard (RHS) comes in. Whether you're a sourcing lead, a sustainability manager, or a designer exploring innovative natural fibers, RHS offers a reliable framework to turn your ambitions into action.
Here’s what RHS guarantees for brands serious about building better supply chains:
Prove It
Traceability from seed to shelf.
RHS is built on a chain-of-custody certification that tracks certified hemp fiber from the farm to the final product. Every transaction is documented, enabling brands to make credible, third-party verified sustainability claims backed by data, not marketing copy.
Responsible Farming
No greenwashing, no shortcuts.
RHS doesn’t just ask “what’s not in your fiber” (like hazardous inputs)—it asks “what good was done?” The standard requires responsible input management, bans Highly Hazardous Pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, and supports the regenerative potential of hemp agriculture.
Meet Due Diligence Goals
Built for today’s compliance landscape.
With the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Digital Product Passport regulations looming, RHS helps brands stay ahead. The standard is designed to support environmental and social due diligence, providing the traceability and transparency regulators (and customers) now expect.
Strengthen Your Sourcing
Long-term partnerships start upstream.
RHS helps brands build direct, transparent relationships with responsible hemp farmers and processors, de-risking your material pipeline and supporting resilient, ethical supply chains. That’s not just good compliance—it’s good business.
