GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is one of the world’s most rigorous and widely recognized certification systems for sustainable textiles. It sets a comprehensive standard that ensures environmentally responsible and ethically sound production processes—from raw materials all the way to the finished product.
The GOTS certification goes beyond raw materials and covers the entire supply chain, providing consumers with a reliable guarantee of a more sustainable choice.
Key requirements of GOTS certification:
Use of organic materials: Products must contain at least 70% certified organic natural fibers (such as organic cotton or wool).
Strict environmental criteria: The standard prohibits the use of harmful substances, including toxic dyes and heavy metals, and requires responsible water treatment and efficient resource management.
Ethical working conditions: Based on International Labour Organization (ILO) principles, it ensures safe working environments, fair wages, and prohibits child and forced labor.
Full traceability: Every stage of the production process—spinning, weaving, dyeing, and manufacturing—is independently verified and certified.
The GOTS label serves as a transparent and trustworthy guide for consumers seeking environmentally friendly and responsibly produced textile products.
