The International Advisory Board is established to bring a diversified stakeholder expertise and perspective to the OEKO-TEX® Association. It informs the Steering Committee about priorities and strategies that are relevant to the goals of OEKO-TEX® and helps to produce safer products and more sustainable and socially responsible companies. It advises and decides on proposals that have been developed by the OEKO-TEX® Working Groups and submitted by the Steering Committee. In this sense, it plays an important role in the further development of the OEKO-TEX® Standards and has an impact on OEKO-TEX®‘s strategy and operational business.
