PART OF THE SOLUTION
Kopenhagen Fur is the world’s leading fur auction house – and with that comes a responsibility.
A responsibility for the environment, for a sustainable circular economy and a no waste production philosophy and – of course – ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare. From 2020 all the fur coming from Kopenhagen Fur will be WelFur certified. The WelFur certification is a science-based program developed by independent researchers and monitored by third party auditors and is the finest seal of approval when it comes to animal welfare.

Fur and sustainability
Our approach to fur farming is extremely respectful of the environment and an excellent example of a natural, renewable and sustainable resource.
Animal welfare in Danish mink farming
Danish research in fur animal welfare extends 30 years back with some of the most comprehensive documentation in livestock research in Denmark.
WelFur
WelFur certification of all European fur farms will start in 2017. As of 2020, Kopenhagen Fur will only receive mink skins and fox skins that are WelFur certified.
