Dyes & finishing
Our priority is to ensure that dyes, finishing and other additives going into our products are managed through ambitious standards throughout the entire supply chain to reduce and prevent harm to people and the environment. At production sites, our chemical management policies include compliance with the highest standards such as GOTS and Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX®. STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. The certification means that every component of a product, i.e. every thread, button and other accessory, has been tested for harmful substances and that the product is therefore safe for human use. Tests are conducted by an independent OEKO-TEX® partner institute and take into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances that may be harmful to human health. In many cases, the limit values for the STANDARD 100 label go beyond national and international requirements.
