The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Organic Content Standard (OCS) are standards used to support the verification and traceability of organic materials through the supply chain. GOTS also includes broader requirements related to environmental, chemical, and social practices applicable to textile processing and manufacturing
GOTS covers organic textile products together with broader environmental, chemical, and social requirements across applicable processing stages. OCS primarily focuses on verifying the presence and traceability of organically grown material within products and supply chains.
GOTS and OCS can benefit textile manufacturers, spinning mills, knitting and weaving units, dyeing and processing facilities, garment manufacturers, textile exporters, suppliers, brands, and other organizations involved in the sourcing, processing, manufacturing, or supply of products containing organic materials.
