It begins with organically and sustainably grown raw materials and extends through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing to the labeling of the products. GOTS is the world’s leading standard for textile products consisting of at least 70% organically produced natural fibers.

Since 2021, all three of our locations (Germany, Portugal, and Hungary) have been GOTS-certified.
