GOTS Certification Consulting

Build traceable, sustainable textile systems that meet global organic standards and unlock export opportunities.

The Challenge

Why Organic Claims Fail Without Systems

Lack of Traceability

Inability to track organic materials through the supply chain leads to failed audits and lost certifications.

Compliance Gaps

Incomplete adherence to environmental and social criteria exposes organizations to regulatory penalties.

Buyer Rejection

Global buyers increasingly require GOTS certification — without it, export opportunities are lost.

Weak Credibility

Unverified organic claims erode brand trust and consumer confidence in your products.

Value Delivered

Our Methodology

Our GOTS Implementation Approach

Gap Assessment

Evaluate current organic processes, documentation, and supply chain traceability against GOTS requirements.

Traceability Mapping

Map the complete supply chain from raw fiber to finished product, establishing control points at each stage.

Compliance Implementation

Implement environmental, social, and chemical compliance systems aligned to GOTS criteria.

Documentation

Develop SOPs, traceability records, and compliance documentation for audit readiness.

Audit Readiness

Conduct internal audits, close gaps, and prepare your team for the certification body assessment.

Most Important

How Organic Integrity Is Maintained Across the Supply Chain

GOTS ensures traceability and compliance at every stage — from certified organic raw fiber to the final labeled product.

Raw Fiber

Certified organic fiber sourcing with verified farm-level compliance.

Processing

Wet processing, dyeing, and finishing within GOTS chemical restrictions.

Manufacturing

Garment assembly and production with social and environmental compliance.

Distribution

Chain-of-custody documentation maintained through storage and logistics.

Retail

Verified GOTS labeling with full traceability to organic source.

Key Differentiator

What GOTS Requires

GOTS covers the full scope of organic textile production — environmental, social, and chemical compliance in one standard.

Organic Fiber Standards

Minimum 70% certified organic fibers with strict sourcing documentation and chain-of-custody requirements.

Environmental Criteria

Wastewater treatment, energy and water use targets, and prohibition of hazardous inputs throughout processing.

Social Compliance

Fair wages, safe working conditions, no child labor, and freedom of association aligned with ILO conventions.

Chemical Restrictions

Strict limits on dyes, auxiliaries, and finishes — all inputs must meet GOTS positive chemical lists.

Labeling Standards

Clear labeling rules for organic claims, including grade labeling (organic / made with organic) and logo use.

Core Elements of GOTS

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GOTS?
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. It defines environmental and social criteria along the entire supply chain.
Any organization involved in the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, or distribution of textiles made from at least 70% certified organic fibers.
While not legally mandatory, GOTS certification is increasingly required by global buyers, retailers, and markets — especially in the EU and US — making it commercially essential for organic textile exporters.
GOTS covers organic fiber content, environmental criteria (water, energy, waste), social compliance (labor conditions), chemical restrictions, quality assurance, and labeling.
The timeline depends on organizational readiness but typically ranges from 4 to 8 months, including gap assessment, system implementation, documentation, and certification audit.
