GRS certification, GOTS and others. What are the benefits of textile certification?

Companies’ commitment to sustainability is appreciated by today’s consumers. Responsible supply chains demonstrate a modern approach to business, where responsible environmental and ethical practices are important. Textile certification meets the needs of businesses and consumers who expect fashion that is friendly to people, health and nature.

GRS, GOTS and more… Textile certification – benefits.

  • Transparency of the supply chain. With traceable processes and brand authenticity – consumers can more easily make environmentally friendly purchasing decisions.
  • Reducing the environmental impact of textiles. In GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), the company implements environmental policies aimed at minimizing adverse environmental impacts (waste segregation, carbon reduction and others). But chemical criteria in production are also controlled here. Reducing the use of chemicals affects the safety of workers, the environment and consumers.
  • Social responsibility. Participants in certification systems such as GRS or GOTS respect workers’ rights, provide good working conditions and fair wages.
  • Animal welfare. Voluntary certifications (RWS, RDS, Downpass) attest to the origin of raw material from an ethically correct source.
  • Responsibly sourced, recycled materials add value!
  • Certified companies work together without breaking the chain of custody.
  • Products with a strong chain of custody (for certified materials in the supply chain) can carry a consumer-recognizable logo. The brand can demonstrate commitment to sustainable initiatives.
  • Consumers are increasingly looking for answers to questions: Is the company certified? Where to buy certified clothing? The holder of a GOTS certificate appears in the publicly available database of certified entities, on the website.
