Wool Integrity™ Certification
The Wool Integrity™ certification guarantees that your wool has been ethically grown in New Zealand and follows a path of genuine integrity. It provides full traceability throughout the supply chain of every wool lot back to its originating farm.
All Wool Integrity wool growers are audited through the NZFAP programme to ensure exceptional care and wellbeing for animals on farm, and every bale of Wool Integrity wool is quality tested by independent third-party NZWTA.
Wool Integrity™ Ensures:
Complete Traceability
Every Wool Integrity certified wool lot is traceable back to the farm it was grown on, providing you the ability to tell an authentic origin story from farm to product.
Animal Welfare Assurance
Alongside adherence to New Zealand’s strict animal welfare standards, Wool Integrity wool growers are independently audited through NZFAP by QCONZ, which is JAS-ANZ and ISO certified.
Independent Quality Verification—Twice
Every Wool Integrity wool bale is independently tested by NZWTA upon arrival to our wool stores via mechanically selected core sampling and again after scouring, ensuring consistent, verified quality.
Access to a Variety of Wool Types
Our nationwide wool grower network gives you access to endless options from fine merino to half breed and cross breed wool that meet your desired fibre qualities.
Consistent Supply, Guaranteed Delivery
Our export expertise means you can count on a reliable, ongoing supply of wool that meets your exact specifications and keeps your production schedule on track.
100% New Zealand Wool Fibre
With Wool Integrity certification, your products carry New Zealand provenance and allow you to share the origin story all the way back to the farm your wool was sourced from.
Partnered with NZFAP
Wool Integrity certified wool is underpinned by NZFAP’s rigorous farm assurance programme. All Wool Integrity wool growers are NZFAP certified, which ensures wool is grown on farms that adhere to best practices for animal husbandry and production, with independent auditing.
Our PGG Wrightson wool store and our export arm, Bloch & Behrens are also NZFAP certified and are audited annually to continue to assure traceability within the supply chain.
