GOTS - Global Organic Textile Standard
"There are many eco-labels around yet we have consciously decided for the comprehensive GOTS standard. Only the GOTS inspection monitors the production until the final product guaranteeing animal welfare, pollutant-free cultivation of cotton, environmentally friendly dyes and ingredients, socially responsible production and harvesting the raw materials without the usage of any poison. This provides a credible guaranty which probably represents the most comprehensive form of control among the eco-standards." - words from BC Garn
