Our certifications

OEKO-TEX® standards enable everyone to make responsible decisions and protect natural resources. Driven by sustainability and a dedication to transparency, our work is grounded in proven science. Explore our portfolio here or apply for your chosen certification or service.

The MADE IN GREEN label identifies textiles and leather goods tested for harmful substances and which have been manufactured under sustainable and socially responsible conditions.

All types of textiles that have been tested for harmful substances, from yarns to the finished product, may bear the STANDARD 100 product label.

The ORGANIC COTTON certification offers verification from farm to product. Products bearing this label have been tested for the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and harmful substances.

The LEATHER STANDARD label is tailored to leather articles which have been tested for harmful substances. Certification can be awarded for leather semi-finished products, finished leather, leather fibre materials up to finished articles and accessories.

STeP certifies production facilities which manufacture textile and leather articles under sustainable production conditions.

The ECO PASSPORT identifies chemicals, colourants and auxiliaries used in the textile and leather industry which are not harmful to health and which are environmentally friendly.

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS supports you on preventing or mitigating existing and potential negative impacts of business operations within your own activities, your supply chains and your wider business relationships.
