Low impact chemicals
Organic farming is practised without use of hazardous pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, hence reducing farmers’ exposure to harmful chemicals, and the pollution of air and water from these sources. For processing stages, GOTS mandates that working conditions must be safe and hygienic.

Safe working conditions
GOTS prohibits harmful and hazardous processing methods, driving the industry to innovate alternate non-hazardous and sustainable techniques. GOTS certification helps market entry. It also improves the prospects for enterprises in less developed countries, leading to improved industrial performance.

The combination of environmental and social criteria in the production of textiles, serves to support our vision of ‘making organic textiles become a significant part of everyday life.
