Our Commitment to Ethics and Empowerment

At Imaco Rugs, we are deeply committed to ethical practices and the wellbeing of the artisans who bring our rugs to life. All our rugs are Label STEP Certified, a globally recognised certification for fair trade and artisan welfare in the handmade carpet industry. Label STEP ensures compliance with up to 90 rigorous measures, including fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmental responsibility.

We are also proud members of Care & Fair, an organisation dedicated to opposing child labor in the carpet industry. Through this partnership, we support schools and healthcare initiatives for weavers and their families, ensuring that every rug we produce contributes to a brighter future for artisan communities.

In Pakistan, we collaborate with UNHCR initiatives to train and empower skilled artisans, including refugee women. Many of our finest rugs are handcrafted by these talented women, reflecting our commitment to equal opportunity and social impact.
