GOTS (Global organic textile standard) Certification

GOTS is a global standard for textile fibers from organic supply chains. It sets forth environmental requirements and social criteria, and is based on independent certification of the entire supply chain. The standard covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading and distribution of all textiles containing a minimum of 70% certified organic natural fibers. Currently, this label has the most demanding specifications. Two main auditors – Ecocert and Control Union – deliver the certification.

Organic content standard certification (OCS)

OCS is an international label initially developed to certify the organic nature of a cotton crop. It was later broadened to include other textiles. It guarantees strict traceability from the production of the raw material to the finished product and can be applied to any type of non-food product.

Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC)

The Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) certification was created in 2017 by a consortium of business leaders and farmers, one of whose founding members is the Patagonia brand. ROC covers fibers from regenerative agriculture. It is the most demanding organic standard, ensuring soil rehabilitation, animal protection, the improvement of farm workers’ lives, fair working conditions and the opportunity to improve farm workers’ socio-economic status.
