FoodChain ID and IDFL Announce Global Partnership for Textile Sustainability

FoodChain ID and IDFL announced a strategic worldwide partnership to enhance transparency and traceability from farm to finished product within the textile industry. The collaboration combines FoodChain ID’s agricultural certification expertise with IDFL’s textile certification and laboratory testing, creating a unified framework for verifying regenerative practices and sustainability claims.

“By aligning FoodChain ID’s Regenerative Agriculture Certification with IDFL’s textile certification and testing capabilities, we’re making it easier for companies to implement credible sustainability programs across their entire textile value chain,” said Dr. Chetan Parmar, Senior Vice President of Technical Services for Europe and Asia. “Together, we will help brands accelerate progress toward transparent and responsible products.”

Integrated Certification Across the Supply Chain

The partnership delivers an end-to-end certification model, allowing brands to validate regenerative agricultural outcomes alongside textile chain-of-custody, social accountability, chemical compliance, environmental performance, and animal welfare standards.

“IDFL’s global auditing and laboratory network, accredited to ISO/IEC 17065 and ISO/IEC 17025 and authorized by Textile Exchange and GOTS, positions us to deliver rigorous, scalable services for customers everywhere,” said Wilf Lieber, CEO of IDFL. “Partnering with FoodChain ID expands access to regenerative agriculture certification and strengthens textile sustainability outcomes.”

Key elements of the collaboration include:

• Full Certification Services: Continuous verification from farm-level production to finished textile goods.
• Global Coverage: Combined reach through both organizations’ international certification and laboratory networks.
• Operational Excellence: Joint commitment to impartiality, confidentiality, and audit quality under international accreditation standards.

Linking Regenerative Agriculture With Textile Traceability

Through this partnership, FoodChain ID will extend its Regenerative Agriculture Standard (ISO/IEC 17065–based) into the textile sector, while IDFL continues to provide certification to major global standards such as GOTS, Responsible Down Standard (RDS), Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), Global Recycled Standard (GRS), and Organic Content Standard (OCS).

The collaboration creates a transparent link between on-farm regenerative practices and sustainable textile production, supporting brands in meeting consumer expectations for verified environmental and ethical responsibility.

Together, FoodChain ID and IDFL are setting a new benchmark for integrated sustainability verification across global supply chains.
