Sustainability & Compliance

Certifications that mean
something, not just a badge wall.

We only onboard factories willing to document what they claim. Every certification listed on a factory profile has been verified against the issuing body before it's shown to you.

Certifications in Our Network

What each one
actually verifies.

These aren't decorative logos — every certification below represents a specific, audited standard that we verify against the issuing body's registry before it appears on any factory profile.

Material safety

OEKO-TEX

Certifies the finished fabric is free from harmful substances at levels that could affect human health — a material safety standard, not a factory audit.

Organic + social

GOTS

Global Organic Textile Standard — verifies organic fibre content plus environmental and social criteria across the full processing chain.

Labour audit

BSCI

Business Social Compliance Initiative — audits labour conditions, working hours and workplace safety on the factory floor.

Ethical trade

SEDEX / SMETA

An ethical trade audit covering labour standards, health & safety, environment and business ethics.

Production ethics

WRAP

Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production — certifies lawful, humane and ethical manufacturing practices.

Quality + safety

ISO 9001 / 45001

International standards for quality management and occupational health & safety systems respectively.

Impact Estimator

See the resource impact
of your order.

This calculator gives a directional estimate of water and CO₂ savings when choosing certified organic cotton or recycled polyester over a conventional, non-certified baseline fabric — useful for a sustainability brief, not a formal LCA report.

Estimates are illustrative, based on published industry averages for conventional vs. certified fibre production, and will vary by mill and process.

Our Commitment

Three standards every
partner factory must meet.

1

No unverified claims

Certifications are checked against the issuing body's registry before appearing on any factory profile.

2

Traceable material sourcing

We track fibre origin through to finished product for any order requiring GOTS or organic claims.

3

Ongoing re-audit

Factory tier status is reviewed periodically, not granted once and forgotten.
