The Partnership for Sustainable Textiles is committed to social, ecological and corruption-free textile and clothing industry – for an industry that respects the rights of all workers who protects the climate and the environment, acts with integrity and within planetary boundaries. To this end, the Textiles Partnership is guided by the fundamental international agreements of the UN on the observance of human and workers' rights, environmental protection and corruption prevention, as well as the corresponding requirements and initiatives of the EU. In order to achieve its objectives, The Textiles Partnership has placed a special focus on the implementation of corporate due diligence obligations
The multi-stakeholder initiative has around 130 members from companies, associations, trade unions, civil society, standards organisations and the German government. As the first point of contact for all companies that want to live up to their social and ecological responsibility throughout the supply chain, the Textiles Partnership offers a broad network and support. It has developed an industry-specific implementation framework and reporting format and initiates joint alliance initiatives in production countries, for example on living wages, Wastewater management and grievance mechanisms.

Green Button
The Green Button is a state seal for sustainable textiles. It sets demanding requirements to protect people and the environment in the global production process of textiles. The special feature: The Green Button checks whether the entire company assumes responsibility for compliance with human rights and environmental standards in its textile supply chains. In addition, the Green Button sets requirements for sustainable production processes, which are proven by recognised, credible seals. This combination of requirements for the company and the production processes of the textiles makes the seal unique. The state determines the criteria and conditions for the Green Button. Independent testing bodies check compliance with the criteria.

Our certificates
Global Organic Textile Standard
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is a globally applied textile processing standard for organic fibers. The GOTS certification covers the entire textile supply chain and extends from processing to trading. For this purpose, on-site inspections are carried out annually.
Our products only receive the label if all companies involved in the supply chain pass inspections and meet the social and quality criteria. Social criteria include ethical business conduct, responsible practices, protecting the health and rights of employees.
The GOTS logo guarantees the use of organic fibers and that only environmentally friendly, tested chemicals are used, and of course the environmentally and socially responsible production of the textile.
