GOTS COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE

GOTS Complaint Form

Any individual or organisation is able to register a complaint about perceived violations of
GOTS requirements.

This procedure is based on the core criteria of legitimacy, accessibility, predictability, equitability and transparency, and is
dialogue-based.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was developed by leading standard setters to define world-wide recognised requirements for organic textiles. From the harvesting of the raw materials, environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing to labelling, textiles certified to GOTS provide a credible assurance to the consumer.
