GOTS joins Make the Label Count coalition

Global Standard, the non-profit that owns and operates the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), has joined the “Make the Label Count” coalition, which is working towards ensuring a fair and credible European Union textile labelling scheme.

Specifically, the MTLC is pushing for changes to the EU’s Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) approach, which, the coalition warns, runs the risk of simplifying sustainability claims excessively and favouring synthetic fibres over natural ones.
