Labeling products to assure consumers child labor was not used

Rugmark is a private, voluntary certification program founded in 1994 to provide market-driven incentives for Indian carpet manufactures to produce without child labor. The Rugmark label, which pictures a smiling face on a carpet, identifies and promotes hand-knotted carpets made without child labor. While it started in India, Rugmark Foundation now operates as an international trademark and certification program. The program includes a licensing system, random inspections and carpet tracking. Rugmark’s founders include Indian and international NGOs, the Indo-German Export Promotion Program and UNICEF.
