The human, nature connection and the impact of consumer choice
The human-nature connection recognizes that we are an integral part of the natural world, and that our actions directly affect the environment. The organic movement highlights the importance of nurturing this relationship by encouraging us to make choices that reduce our environmental impact and foster harmony with nature. This includes opting for organic products, which are cultivated and processed more naturally, in ways that promote biodiversity, global social equity, and the overall health of the planet. By embracing organic practices, we can contribute to a more sustainable and balanced coexistence between humans and the environment.

Organic Standards: Promoting Sustainability, Positive Ecological Impact and Social Responsibility
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and certified organic latex standards promote ecology and social responsibility in the textile and latex industries through strict environmental and labor standards. Choosing products that meet these standards supports a more sustainable and responsible future.
Global Organic Textile Standard
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) promotes ecology and social responsibility in the production of organic fibers and textiles by setting environmental and labor standards that must be met along the entire supply chain. This includes stringent requirements to restrict certain chemicals, preservation of biodiversity, and fair treatment of workers. The GOTS certification ensures that consumers can purchase organic textiles with confidence that they have been produced in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Certified Organic Latex Standards
Certified organic latex standards promote ecology and social responsibility in the production of organic latex by setting strict guidelines for the organic certification of latex products. These guidelines include requirements for sustainable and responsible farming practices, fair labor conditions, and reduced environmental impact.
