Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
Gemeinnützige Organisationen
GOTS is the world’s leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including social & ecological criteria.
Info
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification for the entire textile supply chain. GOTS covers the entire post-harvest processing (including spinning, knitting, weaving, dyeing and manufacturing) of apparel and home textiles made with certified organic fibre (such as organic cotton and organic wool), and includes both environmental and social criteria. Key provisions include a ban on the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), highly hazardous chemicals (such as azo dyes and formaldehyde), and child labour, while requiring strong social compliance management systems and strict waste-water treatment practices. GOTS was developed by leading international standard setters - Organic Trade Association (U.S.), Japan Organic Cotton Association, International Association Natural Textile Industry (Germany), and Soil Association (UK) to define globally-recognised requirements that ensure the organic status of textiles, from field to finished product. GOTS is a non-profit organisation which is self-financed. For more information please visit our website: www.global.standard.org.

I am pleased to see action is being taken to raise the minimum wage in Cambodia. Currently, we count more than 4 million workers in GOTS-certified facilities working under the strict GOTS environmental and human rights including social criteria. Any effort to increase wages in this sector raises the bar for all.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) sets the gold standard for sustainability in textiles, with comprehensive and rigorous requirements covering every step of the supply chain. This ensures that from the moment raw materials are sourced to the final distribution of organic textile products, every stage is meticulously monitored and certified. Starting with approved raw materials, the journey continues through spinning, weaving, knitting, wet-processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and finally, distribution. GOTS doesn't compromise; it consists solely of mandatory criteria, ensuring no shortcuts are taken. For an end product to proudly carry the GOTS label, every company involved in its production must meet these stringent standards and be certified. This guarantees consumers that every GOTS-labeled item meets the highest standards of organic integrity and traceability.

According to GOTS, maintaining integrity involves traceability, transparency, and control. With a GOTS certification, traceability starts at the farm level and continues throughout the entire supply chain to the finished product! Transparency is ensured by making all Standard criteria, labeling rules, allowed chemicals, certified entities, and even banned companies publicly accessible. Control is upheld through mandatory third-party certification at every stage of the supply chain. All materials entering the GOTS supply chain are documented, tested, and verified by external, accredited certification bodies.
