GOTS – The world's leading standard for textiles made from organically produced natural fibers
When parents buy children's clothing, they want to know what they can rely on. Terms like "organic," "sustainable," or "eco-friendly" are frequently used – but are not always clear.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) provides guidance here. It is one of the internationally recognized standards for textiles made from organically produced natural fibers and defines requirements along the entire textile supply chain – from the fibers used and processing to social criteria in production.
What does GOTS stand for?
GOTS is short for Global Organic Textile Standard. The standard was developed to define requirements for textiles made from organically produced natural fibers and to create globally uniform criteria. GOTS considers not only the finished garment but the entire manufacturing process.
What does the GOTS standard cover?
Depending on the production step, the standard includes, among other things, requirements for:
- the natural fibers used
- the processing of the textiles
- certain environmental requirements in the manufacturing process
- social criteria within production
- independent controls of the certified companies
Why does loud + proud rely on GOTS?
Long before organic children's clothing became commonplace, we deliberately chose the Global Organic Textile Standard. Not because a seal alone makes good clothing. But because traceable standards create trust. As a family business, we want to transparently show our customers the criteria according to which our products are manufactured.
What does GOTS mean for parents?
The standard makes it easier to navigate when buying children's clothing. It creates comprehensible requirements along the supply chain and ensures that certified companies are regularly audited. For parents, this means one thing above all: a transparent basis for their purchasing decision.
What does GOTS mean for children?
Children's skin is sensitive. That's why many parents value high-quality materials and careful workmanship. Our GOTS-certified products combine both with our commitment to durable quality and comfortable wear.
