GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

Definition

The world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres, covering every stage from raw material harvesting through manufacturing, labelling, and trading. GOTS certification requires a minimum of 70% organic fibre, prohibits toxic chemicals, mandates wastewater treatment, and enforces fair labour practices. It is the gold standard that brands reference when claiming organic credentials — a GOTS label on a garment certifies the entire supply chain.
