How do you determine whether your t-shirt is truly organic? GOTS and OCS are the two international certifications that will certify what a brand is claiming. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) checks every step of the supply chain, from harvesting through production, and even labelling. Considering both environmental management and social responsibility of producers GOTS is the gold standard for sustainable processing of textiles.
