    About the certification

    Since its launch in 2006, GOTS has proven its robust benchmark for the sustainable processing of textiles made from organic fibres. It has gained widespread recognition from industry stakeholders, retailers, and consumers seeking credible, unified criteria for organic textiles.

    GOTS ensures the organic integrity of textiles throughout the entire supply chain, from the harvesting of raw materials to environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing, all the way to labelling. It is a credible guarantee to the customer.

    The standard applies to the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading and distribution of textile products that contain a minimum of 70% certified organic fibres. Final products covered under GOTS may include yarns, fabrics, garments, and home textiles. Please note that the scope of GOTS does not extend to leather products.
