Certification Requirements

The organic production of any type of textile product is not just about the growing of crops, but also about all the various processing stages involved in converting raw materials into finished goods. 

 A GOTS Certification ensures that all companies involved in producing a product meet strict environmental, human rights and social criteria, providing consumers and businesses with a reliable and recognised label for organic, sustainably and fairly produced products. 

See the individual stages of the textile value chain to find out more about the different steps, the elements of inspections and contacts for GOTS Approved Certification Bodies, a list of countries where they have currently clients in as well as the accredited scopes.
