What does our ‘CERTIFIED’ tag mean?

The "CERTIFIED" tag guarantees that the product meets verified environmental or social criteria across our entire supply chain, giving you greater transparency and credibility in your choices.

When you see the ‘CERTIFIED’ tag, it means the product is either FSC™-, GOTS-, GRS - or OSC 100-/Organic blended-certified.

Certifications supports our sustainable growth and transparency, and by choosing ‘CERTIFIED’, you’re making a more responsible choice for both people and the planet.

Certifications and testing

We are deeply committed to environmental and social responsibility in all aspects of our business and work with certifications and testing to ensure safe and fair working conditions in our supply chain and the responsible production of high-quality products.

To that end, we have created an internal framework entitled ‘Responsible suppliers’. As engaged members of Amfori, we ensure our key suppliers undergo BSCI audits. To be classified a responsible supplier, ours must adhere to initiatives and certifications like BSCI, SA 8000, FSC™ and GOTS, reflecting their dedication to aligning with our mission of promoting responsible practices and ensuring stringent criteria for human rights and fair working conditions are met. We aim for 60% of our suppliers to be classified as such by the end of 2024, building on our 54% achievement in 2023.

Our products undergo risk assessment and rigorous testing in accredited laboratories, and we comply with applicable national and international regulations and standards such as REACH for environmental and health requirements.

At the same time, the FSC™ ensures that workers’ rights throughout the certified supply chain are respected.

It promotes transparency and responsible practices, confirming that recycled content is traceable and ethically sourced - from the initial recycling phase to the final product.
