Regenerative Organic Certified® is a revolutionary new certification for food, apparel, and personal care ingredients. Regenerative Organic Certified® farms and products meet the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.
With regenerative organic agriculture, we can rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. We can sequester carbon, build healthier communities, and reap more nutritious and abundant yields.
In practice, regenerative organic agriculture can look like cover cropping, crop rotation, low- to no-till, compost, and zero use of persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
All Regenerative Organic Certified® products and farms must also meet the requirements of the USDA Organic Certification.
When you see our Fair Trade Certified label on a product, you can trust that it was made according to rigorous standards that protect the livelihoods of farmers, fishers, and other producer communities and the environment.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the world's leading textile processing standard for organic fibers.
ORGANIC FIBERS
A textile product carrying the GOTS label must contain a minimum of 70% certified organic fibers, and any product with the label grade grade 'organic' must contain a minimum of 95% certified organic fibers.
ECOLOGICAL & SOCIAL CRITERIA
To build a truly sustainable textile industry, GOTS evaluates the processing and manufacturing of textiles based on both, environmental and social criteria.
ALL PROCESSING STAGES
The standard covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic fibers.
THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATION
An on-site inspection and certification of processors, manufacturers, and traders is performed by an independent third-party GOTS-accredited certification body and forms the basis of the GOTS monitoring system.
