New Textile Exchange certifications
We are moving towards a more sustainable and responsible future. We are
proud to announce that we have obtained three prestigious international
certi cations:
Global Recycled Standard (GRS): sets requirements for certification of
recycled material content, chain of custody, chemical restrictions, and
sound social and environmental practices. All our garments certified
and labelled under this standard contain a minimum of 50% recycled
material.
Recycled Content Standard (RCS): veri es that labelled products actually
contain recycled materials and are traceable from source to nal product.
All our garments with a percentage of less than 50% recycled material will
be labelled under this standard.
Organic Content Standard (OCS): certi es that products contain organic
materials in the stated amount and that all requirements of the standard are
met throughout the entire chain of custody.
This achievement supports our developments in recycled polyester and
organic cotton bres, ensuring that they meet the highest sustainability
standards, optimising the consumption of natural resources and improving
working conditions for everyone in our supply chain.
We are part of amfori
We joined the world's leading Business Partnership for Sustainable
Trade to take another step in our strong commitment to the
environment and society. This milestone strengthens our day-to-day
work to ensure ethical and sustainable business practices in our global
supply chains.
OEKO-TEX ®
We have products that comply with the OEKO-TEX® certi cation, be it the
garments or fabric.
This standard guarantees the absence of harmful substances, both in
the nished garments and the manufacturing stages, complying with
the REACH regulation of the European Union, which restricts the use of
chemical substances and heavy metals that are toxic to the health of users.
