GOTS - Global Organic Textile Standard
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is considered the international standard for the responsible and
sustainable production of clothing and textile products made from
organically grown natural fibres such as cotton and wool.
The
GOTS establishes the requirements to be respected throughout the supply chain,
regarding the ecological and social conditions in the production of natural
fabrics, using organically produced raw
materials. Organic production is based
on an agricultural system that supports and restores soil fertility without
the use of toxic pesticides and persistent synthetic fertilisers.
Furthermore, it outlines the standards to be respected to protect animals and
the ban on the use of genetically modified organisms.
The adoption of the GOTS certification allows companies to be more competitive
on the main markets, also encouraging the consumer towards a more informed
purchase.
