The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) stipulates requirements throughout the supply chain for both ecological and labor conditions in textile and apparel manufacturing using organically produced raw materials. Organic production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
In addition, it includes welfare standards for animal husbandry and prohibits genetically modified organisms. Organic label grades must be made no less than 95% of the fiber content of the products.
