GOTS applies to products with at least 70% certified organic natural fibers (cotton, wool, linen, etc.). It mandates third-party audits of every production stage-spinning, weaving, dyeing, sewing, and trading-with full traceability from farm to finished goods.Key requirements include:- Environmental: Ban on harmful chemicals, strict wastewater treatment, sustainable packaging, and waste reduction.
- Social: Compliance with ILO standards-no child/forced labor, safe working conditions, fair wages, and regular working hours.
- Labeling: Only certified products may use GOTS marks; 95%+ organic fiber qualifies for "100% Organic" labeling.
GOTS certification is globally recognized, accepted in major global markets, and requires annual renewal. It provides consumers and businesses with credible assurance of truly organic, eco-friendly, and ethically produced textiles.
