Canadian Down Standard

The Canadian Down Standard (CDS) represents a commitment to ethical practices, ensuring the humane treatment of animals and sustainable sourcing of down and feather products. The CDS was created by stakeholders who identified a need in the marketplace to maintain the integrity of authentic Canadian Sourced Down and Feather products. The Canadian Down Standard has been developed to verify and validate the animal welfare and traceability practices of suppliers throughout feather and down supply chains.

Our certification sets a benchmark for the highest standards in animal welfare, sustainability, and product traceability. By choosing CDS-certified products, you are supporting ethical and responsible practices in the down industry.

We are committed to ensuring every product bearing the CDS label adheres to rigorous ethical guidelines, providing consumers with confidence and transparency in their choices.
