Certifications
By working with suppliers who share our values and meet the requirements of recognized standards such as GOTS, GRS and RWS, we aim to support responsible sourcing practices throughout our supply chain. Together, these partnerships help us continuously improve our products and processes.
GOTS
GOTS-certified cotton, grown organically under the Global Organic Textile Standard, offers significant environmental benefits compared to conventional cotton. Every stage of the manufacturing process—from the moment the cotton leaves the farm to the production of the finished garment—is evaluated against GOTS' stringent social and environmental criteria. These criteria ensure safe workplaces, fair wages, and legal working hours while strictly prohibiting child labor, forced labor, and discrimination. Additionally, all companies along the supply chain are required to actively reduce the environmental impact of their production. Garments labeled with "GOTS Organic" contain at least 95% organic cotton, whereas those bearing the "GOTS Made with X% Organic" label include a minimum of 70% organic cotton.GRS
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certifies garments made with at least 50% recycled materials from pre- or post-consumer waste, reducing dependence on virgin resources. It ensures that every step of the supply chain, from the sourcing of recycled materials to the finished garment, meets strict environmental and social criteria. These include ensuring safe working conditions, fair wages, and following fair labor practices. GRS also enforces good chemical management by banning harmful substances and advocating for safer chemical handling, which helps protect both workers and the environment .
BSCI
We require all production facilities to hold a valid BSCI, SA8000® or equivalent social certification. These independently verified standards support responsible working conditions and social compliance throughout our supply chain.
