Fairtrade textile standard and individual introduction to the standard
The Fairtrade Textile Standard is a certification for each processing stage of the textile supply chain.
The offer
The Fairtrade Textile Standard is a certification for each processing stage of the textile supply chain - from ginning to garment manufacturing and has the underlying goal of empowering workers. Certified operations must implement a living wage within six years. With the addition of Textile Program, the approach goes beyond inspection and certification, combining a rigorous standard with a program that supports workers and factories on the ground. The standard ensures traceability through the entire textile supply chain down to the individual fiber.
