- Products certified with OEKO-TEX® do not contain any harmful substances.
- The certification system is in many cases more comprehensive and stricter than required by national and international standards.
- The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification means more transparent supplier relationships upholding a consistent standard of excellence.
- The test criteria are globally standardised and are updated at least once a year based on new scientific information or statutory requirements.
Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
The GRS is a standard of verification for companies to determine the recycled content of their fabrics. It ensures that corporate claims concerning recycled content of textiles are accurate and up to date.
This standard is audited on an annual basis by assessing the production, trading and manufacturing processes to ensure the recycled content of our fabrics is authentic. Please refer to our fabric samples to confirm which collections are GRS certified.
Our unique GRS number is 1036513.
Organic Content Standard (OCS)
The OCS is a certification awarded to goods that are guaranteed as containing organic content such as organic cotton. Each party involved in the chain of production, from yarn supply through to finished goods, is closely audited and controlled to ensure the item contains genuine organic content.
Based on their composition, fabric is either awarded the ‘Organic Content Standard 100’ for fabrics containing more than 95% organic fibre, or the ‘OCS Blended – Organic Content Standard’ for fabrics containing between 5% and 95% organic fibre.
Please refer to our fabric samples to confirm which collections are OCS certified. Our unique OCS number is 1036513.
ISO 14001 standard on environmental management
In addition to this, we monitor our mills' compliance with the ISO 14001 standard on environmental management, empowering them to develop practical systems so that we can all manage our environmental responsibilities together.
ISO 14001 establishes the criteria for an environmental management system and can be certified. Designed for any type of organisation, regardless of its activity or sector, it provides assurance that the environmental impact of
operations is being measured and improved. The benefits of ISO 14001 for our customers are:
- Minimised collective environmental footprint.
- Diminished collective risk of pollution incidents.
- Operations systems are continuously improved.
