GOTS

GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard. It is one of the best-known certifications in sustainable fashion.

This standard focuses on organic textiles and looks beyond just the fiber itself. Processing and various parts of the production chain also play a role.

What does GOTS mean?

When a product is GOTS-certified, it means that the textile meets requirements regarding organic material and processing.

This makes GOTS relevant for people who not only want to know that cotton is organically grown, but also that clear requirements apply further down the supply chain.

Why is GOTS important?

GOTS provides more certainty than a general claim about organic cotton. It helps to better understand that sustainability does not only start with the raw material, but also in the rest of the production process.

That is why we consider GOTS a strong standard for clothing in which organic textiles play an important role. Read more about organic cotton.

How Blue Blood views this

When we select products with GOTS, we do so because this certification aligns well with our focus on quality, traceability, and clear information.

For us, GOTS is not a marketing term, but a way to better substantiate a choice.
