OEKO-TEX® standards enable everyone to make responsible decisions and protect natural resources.
We inspire trust in the textile and leather industry.
Driven by sustainability and a dedication to transparency, our work is grounded in proven science. Our standards allow everyone to make responsible decisions and protect natural resources.
We aim to travel mainly by train. For longer distances, a plane sometimes is the only option. By offsetting our CO2 production, we provide a small part of protecting our planet in our daily business.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for all. OEKO-TEX® supports the textile and leather industry in working towards these important targets.
Safety at workplace, good hygiene, medical requirements and social insurance are obligatory for the STeP certification. Extensive product tests for harmful substances ensure consumer safety for OEKO-TEX@ labelled products.
Gender Equality is an important part of our OEKO-TEX@ philosophy: Our Code of Conduct is related to the UN Global Compacts' 11 principles and the ILO labour standards to ensure an active engagement of all employees.
DETOX TO ZERO supports facilities to monitor and optimize their chemical management and their wastewater quality - for more agile responses to new demands and the prevention of hazardous chemicals and disposal of untreated wastewater.
Fair wages, working hours and equal treatment of workers without any discrimination regarding race, origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation and ethnicity that's what we stand for.
Our MADE IN GREEN label guides consumers to responsible consumption by making supply chains transparent and traceable.The STeP certification ensures the long term implementation of environmentally friendly production processes.
STeP provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of all production processes with the aim to implement best practices, efficient processes and reduce the carbon footprint across the whole supply chain.
We exchange and cooperate with third parties, to harmonize sustainable standards and actions. We engage with various international, multi-stakeholder initiatives, e.g. projects with the UN, the OCED or initiativies of the Partnership for Sustainable Textiles and the ZDHC.
