GOAL ACHIEVED! 100% CERTIFIED SHEEP WOOL
For us, responsibility means thinking beyond fashion. Quality is only real when it is created with respect for nature and people. That’s why we are transparent about the steps we take – and the path ahead. Since the Fall/Winter 2025 collection, we have been using only certified mulesing-free or recycled wool for all products containing sheep wool. A clear commitment to animal welfare, resource conservation, and the values that have always defined Marc O’Polo.

TWO PATHS, ONE STANDARD
Animal welfare and resource conservation go hand in hand for us – and this is exactly where our approach begins. Mulesing-free wool means we only use sheep wool from responsible animal husbandry, obtained without the painful mulesing practice. Recycled wool, on the other hand, reuses existing resources and reduces the need for virgin raw materials. Both paths stand for the same standard: high-quality, durable products that respect our planet.
VERIFIED BY THIRD PARTIES
Our standard is backed by independent certifications: the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certifies mulesing-free wool of controlled origin, while the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) verifies the percentage of recycled fibers and tracks it from the end product to the source. Both certifications are directly visible on the product. Additionally, we work with other standards such as The Good Cashmere Standard by AbTf, Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS), or Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS), demonstrating our commitment for other animal fibers like cashmere, mohair, or alpaca.
