Certified organic

GOTS Embroidery

At Print Union, we are proud to hold the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification – one of the world's leading standards for organic textiles. This means that our embroidery services meet the highest environmental and social criteria at every stage of production, from raw material sourcing to the finished product.

GOTS certification ensures that the textiles we decorate with embroidery are produced responsibly, using organic fibres and processes that protect both people and the planet. When you choose GOTS-certified embroidery from Print Union, you are choosing quality, transparency, and sustainability.

About the standard

What is GOTS?

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It is a comprehensive certification that covers every stage of the textile supply chain – from harvesting raw materials to manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading, and distribution.

Global recognition

GOTS is recognised worldwide as the gold standard for organic textile processing. It provides a credible assurance to consumers that products have been produced responsibly.

Full supply chain

Unlike many other certifications, GOTS covers the entire production chain: from harvesting and spinning to dyeing, manufacturing, and decoration – including embroidery.

Social responsibility

GOTS sets strict social criteria aligned with ILO conventions, ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, no child labour, and freedom of association throughout the supply chain.

Environmental criteria

All chemical inputs such as dyes and auxiliaries must meet strict environmental and toxicological criteria. Wastewater treatment is mandatory, and the use of hazardous substances is prohibited.

Independent auditing

GOTS certification requires annual on-site inspections by independent, accredited certification bodies. This ensures ongoing compliance and gives you confidence in the integrity of the standard.

Organic fibre content

Products labelled GOTS “organic” must contain a minimum of 95% certified organic fibres, while “made with organic” requires at least 70%. This guarantees authentic organic content.

Why it matters

This is particularly important for brands that want to offer genuinely sustainable products to their customers. With GOTS-certified embroidery, you can confidently label your products as organic, knowing that every step in the chain has been verified and audited.
