GOTS Certified Organic

Certified by Global Organic Textile Standard

GOTS certification verifies that a textile product's organic fibre content and its full processing supply chain meet defined organic, environmental and social criteria.

What it checks

• Confirms fibres used are certified organic (e.g. cotton, wool, hemp, silk, linen)
• Checks chemical inputs, wastewater treatment and environmental management during processing
• Verifies human rights and social due-diligence criteria across the supply chain
• Requires traceability, annual on-site audits and transaction-based checks at every processing stage

What it does not cover This certification addresses organic fibre content, processing chemicals and supply-chain conditions; it is not a general product safety, flammability, or choking-hazard test.

This certification is held by the brand or manufacturer, not by Birch. We show it because the brand states it for this product. Summarised from the certifying body's own page.
