GOTS-certified facilities: India tops the list

摘要

The positive trend of growing number of GOTS-certified facilities continued, and for the first time GOTS can report data on the number of workers in certified operations. The number of facilities certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) kept growing last year, from 3,663 facilities in 2014 to 3,814 facilities in 2015. GOTS is recognised worldwide as the leading processing standard for textiles made with organic fibres. GOTS certified facilities are now located in 68 (63 in 2014) countries around the world. Growth is evenly spread across all market segments including the mass market and the big brands. GOTS certification enables consumers to purchase items that are certified organic from field to finished product.
