One Welfare Silkworm is a new project designed to support the sustainable development goals and global trade by supporting the creation of a unique accreditation scheme. One Welfare Silkworm is here to bring together assurance bodies certifying high standards in the areas of animal welfare, labour and environmental protection.

This project brings together collective expertise across the world to develop a unique accreditation system that can enable customers identify products manufactured in compliance with legal requirements and global standards as well as with the highest animal welfare, labour and environmental protection standards at global level.  

Why a Silkworm? The silkworm built global trade networks by producing a raw material that produces one of the most famous fabrics in the world. In the same way, this project is designed to bring change and improvements to purchasing and consumer services, by enabling the implementation of the concept of One Welfare within local and global trade markets; In the same way multiple goods were traded via the Silk Road, One Welfare Silkworm will facilitate multiple industries and sectors benefiting from this novel accreditation scheme.
