GOTS certificate

GOTS, i.e. Global Organic Textile Standard, is a certificate of textile ecology and ethics.
The certificate takes into account the entire life cycle, from the cultivation of the raw material to the final product. The certificate is monitored by an external independent body.

The GOTS certificate does not allow the use of formaldehyde, chlorine or heavy metals, for example. Environmentally friendly dyes are allowed. The GOTS criteria also take into account the well-being of animals and people.
The applicant for the GOTS certificate must meet the ILO's minimum criteria (e.g. the right to organize, salary, employment contract, occupational safety...). Child labor is prohibited.

The certificate is only awarded to organically grown natural fibers (organic).
