Certifications

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): is recognised as the most important standard for the sustainable production of clothing and textiles made from natural fibres from organic farming.

The Global Organic Textile Standard has been developed by leading international organisations in organic farming to ensure that organic textile products are produced in accordance with stringent environmental and social criteria applied at all levels of production, from harvesting in the field of natural fibres to subsequent processing.

The production of these articles favours the saving of water, of energy, the less use of chemical pesticides and is completely traceable.

GOTS certification is obtained after having passed the following 3 steps:

• Initial assessment of the products and the production process, which involves the assessment of the composition of the products, the conformity of organic raw materials and suppliers and the suitability of chemical products used in manufacturing processes;
• Verification and in situ inspection aimed at ascertaining the effective compliance of products with GOTS criteria, the respect of environmental and social criteria and the correct organisation of transformation processes;
• Issuance of the certificate of conformity on the basis of the data collected and the checks carried out.

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is a not-for-profit organization that exists to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and better for the sector’s future. Through BCI and its Partners, farmers receive training on how to use water efficiently, care for the health of the soil and natural habitats, reduce use of the most harmful chemicals and apply decent work principles. BCI Farmers implementing this system are licensed to sell Better Cotton.

BCI’s goal is to make the production of "Better Cotton" a sustainable product by promoting:

• Reducing the environmental impact of cotton production;
• Improving livelihoods and economic development in cotton producing areas;
• Improving Better Cotton’s commitment and flow throughout the supply chain;
• Ensuring the credibility and sustainability of the Better Cotton Initiative.

STANDARD 100 BY OEKO-TEX: It is an international control and certification system for raw materials, semi-finished and finished products of the textile sector at every level of processing.

Since 1992 the main purpose of STANDARD 100 by OEKO -TEX has been the development of limit value verification criteria and test methods on a scientific basis concerning: :

• Dyestuffs;
• Formaldehyde;
• Chemical substances dangerous to health;
• Updated by European chemicals regulation REACH and US CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ACT (CPSIA).

The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX helps to ensure high product safety for the end consumer.
