Rugmark



RUGMARK
•Global non-profit organization working to end child labor and offer educational opportunities for children in India, Nepal and Pakistan.
•The RUGMARK label is your best assurance that no illegal child labor was employed in the manufacture of a carpet or rug.

To be certified by RUGMARK, carpet-manufacturers sign a legally binding contract to:
–produce carpets without illegal child labor
–register all looms with the RUGMARK Foundation
–allow access to looms for unannounced inspections.
•Carpet looms are monitored regularly by RUGMARK.
•Each labeled carpet is individually numbered enabling its origin to be traced back to the loom on which is was produced. This also protects against counterfeit labels.
