The aim of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is
to be a credible resource for consumers looking for
textiles that are produced in an environmentally and
socially responsible method. Not only are these fabrics
free of harmful chemicals to you and your family, the
results of their production are not harmful to the
environment or the communities in which they were
produced.
The standard assures that no harmful or toxic chemicals
are used from harvest to manufacture; including the
dyeing, washing, and finishing processes. The standard
even examines the disposal of waste and waste water
treatment, to ensure a minimal impact on the
environment.
Strict guidelines have to be met in working conditions
as well; providing a safe and hygienic environment, with
livable wages, appropriate working hours, and absolutely
no child labor. Labor discrimination and inhumane
treatment is prohibited.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a
universal standard that guarantees that organic products
you bring into your home are healthy and safe for you as
well as the environment, while providing a fair and just
working environment for those who manufacture them.
