titleHow a Voluntary Code of Practice is Putting Mongolia on a Fast Track to Sustainable Cashmere
abstractNoteMost of Mongolian cashmere, world-renowned for its superb quality, is the result of Nomadic herding. Yet, there is no organic certification for the nomadic production of cashmere. However, the challenge of trying to bridge European certification standards with this traditional way of cashmere production did not shy Mongolian wool and cashmere producers away. As part of our project STeP EcoLab, 18 of them agreed to a voluntary code of practice to make cashmere production more socially and environmentally sustainable. Now the code of practice is becoming national law.
