We take certifications and standards seriously.
We all value the assurances certification brings; the knowledge and proof that processes have been assessed – and that they meet defined standards. To learn more about the various standards, certifications and compliances that are relevant to our brand and product ranges, just click on the logos below.
GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD
GOTS ensures that from the farmers onwards, every step of the supply chain is honouring organic and ethical practices. As a standard, its cohesiveness covers both social and environmental factors, making it a valuable certification to hold. All of our suppliers, from farm to factory, have to hold GOTS certifications. Each are audited separately, including us. However, only garments decorated by a GOTS certified processer can use the GOTS logo at their point of sale which is why we have removed the GOTS label in our garments, although they remain fully certified in accordance with the standard. We are certified by Control Union under reference CU811271. www.global-standard.org
OCS 100
OCS certifies the organic content of our garments. However, as a certification, it is not subject to decorators or distributors holding the same standard and can be labelled as an OCS-certified garment beyond the point of sale. It provides a strong chain of custody system from the source of the organic cotton to the final product through certification and independent verification. OCS 100 certifies that a garment is made from 100% organic or in conversion to organic cotton. We are certified by Control Union under license 811271. www.certifications.controlunion.com
RCS BLENDED
Our rPET has been certified by RCS, which gives us the assurance that any recycled material has been fully vetted as being legitimately recycled. RCS tracks raw material throughout the supply chain and requires certification at each stage of manufacturing, beginning at the point of recycling. We are certified by Control Union under license 811271. www.certifications.controlunion.com
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is an independent product certification label for textiles that have been tested for harmful substances, dyestuffs and chemicals that may pose a health or environmental risk. We hold STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® product class 1 certification, offering the highest level of assurance for all components of our clothing from the fabric through to threads, zips, buttons and labels. www.oeko-tex.com.
