Alongside our OEKO-TEX ® STeP certification we also attained OEKO-TEX ® DETOX TO ZERO.
OEKO-TEX® DETOX TO ZERO strives to eliminate hazardous chemicals from textile and leather
production. It is not a certification, but a management system determining and analysing
Manufacturing Restricted Substances List compliance of chemicals used in textile and leather
production, reporting the conformity status, and outlining improvements. DETOX TO ZERO helps
manufacturers and purchasers, as well as brands and retailers, monitor and fulfil the Greenpeace Detox
Campaign objectives. The system targets wet facilities in the textile and leather industry supply chains.
OEKO-TEX® STeP Certification of production facilities
STeP provides a more comprehensive analysis and evaluation of sustainable production conditions.
Many certification systems only consider certain individual aspects of sustainability.
The certification demonstrates we are actively working to minimise our risks, reduce resource
consumption and environmental impact, and create a safe attractive workplace for our members of
staff. Furthermore, the certificate allows us to communicate our UN SDG aligned improvements in a
clear and transparent way.
