GOTS Certified stands for Global Organic Textile Standard Certified, the leading worldwide textile processing standard for organic fibres, encompassing ecological and social criteria. Products labelled as GOTS Certified must contain at least 70% organic fibres, with the highest grade requiring at least 95%.
The certification ensures environmentally friendly and sustainable practices throughout the entire textile supply chain, from harvesting raw materials to manufacturing and labelling, while prohibiting toxic heavy metals, formaldehyde, aromatic solvents, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It also includes strong labour standards, ensuring safe working conditions, fair wages, and the prohibition of child labour.
