THESE STANDARDS ARE THE CORE OF ITS MISSION, PROVIDING A PUBLIC GOOD: THEY ARE DESIGNED TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE, IMPROVE PRODUCTION PRACTICES, AND PROVIDE SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY FOR COMPANIES AND CONSUMERS IN TEXTILE SUPPLY CHAINS. THESE FEES SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR 3RD PARTY ACCREDITED STANDARDS AND ASSURANCE MODELS. THE STANDARDS ARE DEVELOPED IN A WAY THAT FOCUSES ON MATERIALS: THEY DEVELOP CERTIFICATION STANDARDS TO RECOGNIZE FARM LEVEL STANDARDS THAT ALREADY EXIST AND HAVE A CLEAR CLIMATE/ENVIRONMENTAL FOCUS (EXAMPLE: ORGANIC COTTON STANDARD), OR FARM LEVEL STANDARDS THAT BUILD IN STRICT ANIMAL WELFARE AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS (EXAMPLE: RESPONSIBLE WOOL STANDARD) IN A WAY THAT DRIVES BRANDS TO SOURCE THE CERTIFIED/PREFERRED MATERIALS. THESE CERTIFIED MATERIALS ARE LITERALLY MEASURED AGAINST THE "NORM" ON SPECIFIC SCIENTIFIC CRITERIA- I.E. MATERIALS THAT IF SUBSTITUTED FOR CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS WILL HAVE XYZ IMPACTS ON SOIL, CLIMATE, AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. THESE ARE DEVELOPED BY RIGOROUS RESEARCH AND TRACKING-AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS AN LCA STUDY FOUND AT HTTPS://TEXTILEEXCHANGE.ORG/LCA-FAQ. THOSE BRANDS AND SUPPLIERS THAT ARE NOT ENGAGED WITH THE CERTIFICATION STANDARDS DO NOT HAVE A VALIDATED CHAIN OF CUSTODY TO TRACK/MONITOR OR EVEN UNDERSTAND THE MATERIALS THAT ARE IN THEIR PRODUCTS. ONCE A BRAND DOES BEGIN SOURCING THE CERTIFIED MATERIALS IT ADDITIONALLY DRIVES A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE FOR MORE PRODUCERS/FARMERS TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE WITH THE FARM LEVEL STANDARDS, WHICH IMPROVES THEIR PRACTICES ACCORDINGLY. AS THESE BRANDS ARE DEMANDING THESE CERTIFIED MATERIALS, AND IN MOST CASES PAYING A PREMIUM, THEY CAN THEN SELL THEM FOR MORE TO THE CONSUMER.
