This standard stipulates requirements throughout the supply chain for both the environment and labour conditions in textile and apparel manufacturing, using organically produced raw materials. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides and fertilizers. In addition, organic production relies on adequate animal husbandry and excludes genetic modification.
When buying a GOTS certified product you are contributing to a better world where no pesticides are used in cotton production, no harmful chemicals are used in the dyeing process and most importantly safe and hygienic working conditions are ensured throughout the process with no child labour and no excessive hours.
