OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS press release
Starting Novembr 2022, the OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS tool and certification will support brands, retailers and traders in the textile and leather sector with due diligence compliance. Due diligence requires companies to take legal responsibility for all human rights and environmental violations in their global supply chains. Facing the multiple interests of worldwide stakeholders - employees, consumers, investors, media, and politics - with different points of view, companies must protect and communicate with all of them. OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS allows companies to choose between a self-assessment of their due diligence status or achieve third-party certification validated by an OEKO-TEX® institute. OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS is based on a wide range of international policies with additional focus on climate protection.
