    About the standard

    The Responsible Alpaca Standard safeguards the welfare of alpacas and the ecosystems around them. The Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS) is a voluntary standard that requires all sites, from alpaca farms through to the seller in the final business-to-business transaction, to be certified. RAS farmers and herders must meet animal welfare, land management, and social requirements.

    How you benefit

    The RAS provides verification of the practices that are happening at farm level, giving brands a clear solution that will allow them to make claims about the alpaca fiber sourcing with confidence.

    The RAS is intended to be used by farmers involved in the production of alpaca fiber, and companies buying and selling products intended to contain RAS certified alpaca fiber.
