GOTS
The Global Organic Textile Standard is promoted by the main international organizations leading in organic agriculture, in order to guarantee responsible and sustainable development in the textile sector, and the vast international recognition obtained allows those who produce and sell organic textile products to have a certification available in all major markets.
GOTS certification requires receiving an audit from a third party which certifies: the content of natural fibers from organic farming of both intermediate and finished products, the maintenance of traceability throughout the entire production process, the restrictions in the use of chemical products and compliance with environmental and social criteria in all phases of the production chain, from the collection of natural fibers in the field to the subsequent manufacturing phases, up to the labeling of the finished product.

For Textile (Seri.co Dept.) is a guarantee brand that ensures the quality and health and safety requirements of the fabric and system production from which the product is born.
For Textile (Seri.co Dept.) certified companies are required to perform ESG reporting to measure and improve environmental, social and governance aspects.
The For Textile brand (Seri.co Dept.) guarantees that the fabric does not contain or release substances that are harmful to the user’s health and therefore that the product meets the needs of the market which requires safe fabrics that give full confidence to the consumer.
BCI

GRS
The Global Recycle Standard, developed by Textile Exchange, is an important international non-profit initiative in the textile sector, committed to responsible and sustainable development. This standard actively promotes recycling as a key element for a sustainable production and consumption model, aiming to reduce the use of resources such as virgin raw materials, water and energy, and improve the quality of products obtained from recycling.
The Global Recycle Standard offers safety to consumers by guaranteeing that products contain at least 20% pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled material. Furthermore, all manufacturing activities involved must comply with established standards and procedures, using recycled material to create intermediate products such as yarns and fabrics or finished products intended for the consumer.
