OEKO-TEX^® is a globally recognized organization dedicated to promoting sustainability, safety, and transparency in the textile and leather industries. Its mission is to help businesses and consumers make responsible choices that protect both human health and the environment, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. To achieve this, OEKO-TEX^® offers a comprehensive range of certifications and labels that span the entire value chain—from input and process control to output and supply chain management.

One of its key certifications is the OEKO-TEX^® ECO PASSPORT, which independently verifies the safety of chemicals, dyes, and auxiliary materials used in production. This certification ensures that these materials are legally compliant and harmless to human health. Similarly, OEKO-TEX^® STANDARD 100 and LEATHER STANDARD certify textiles and leather articles, respectively, by testing them for harmful substances.

The OEKO-TEX^® MADE IN GREEN label further guarantees that products are produced using environmentally responsible processes under socially fair working conditions. This label is backed by OEKO-TEX^® STeP, a certification for production facilities that emphasizes sustainable practices.

In response to increasing supply chain due diligence requirements, OEKO-TEX^® launched the RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS certification, which helps companies manage and reduce the negative impacts of their operations across the supply chain. Additionally the new OEKO-TEX^® ORGANIC COTTON certification focuses on labeling organic cotton textiles with verified authenticity. Through its diverse and modular system of certifications, OEKO-TEX^® plays a vital role in advancing sustainability and safety in the global textile and leather industries.
