We’re tackling the textile industry’s biggest challenges

See just a few…

Challenge 1

Complex Production

On average, making a single piece of clothing involves 30-50 distinct production steps.

The GOTS solution

GOTS requires that each and every step in the manufacturing supply chain - spinning, dyeing, stitching, packaging and more - meets our strict environmental and social criteria.

Challenge 2

Toxic Chemicals

Studies show that up to 1 in 3 textiles tested worldwide contain hazardous substances that can come in contact with your skin - without any warning label.

The GOTS solution

GOTS prohibits all chemicals that don’t meet rigorous safety conditions No formaldehyde, No PFAS, No toxic dyes protecting both your skin and the people who make your textiles.

Challenge 3

Water Pollution

Textile dyeing and finishing processes contribute to about 20% of global industrial water pollution, releasing toxic chemicals into water bodies.

The GOTS solution

GOTS combats this by first, regulating chemical use, then requiring certified facilities to treat all wastewater through effective, environmentally sound processes — protecting both local communities and the environment.
