Animal welfare and mulesing-free wool
It is important to us that the sheep that produce wool for Pierre Robert live a good life. We therefore have a comprehensive animal welfare policy and a ban on mulesing.
Our code of ethics forms the basis of our animal welfare requirements. These cover farming practices, animal transport, safety, sustainability and general welfare.
At Pierre Robert Group, we strongly oppose mulesing, a painful procedure intended to prevent fly larvae from settling in the skin of merino sheep. The method is used in Australia. We only buy certified mulesing-free merino wool, and mainly from South Africa, which does not practice mulesing.
