What is OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS ?
OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS supports textile and leather companies with a step-by-step approach to integrating human rights and environmental criteria into their management processes, thus allowing them to fulfil their due diligence obligations along their supply chains and identify risks at an early stage. Governments are increasingly requiring compliance with human rights and environmental criteria by law and this is also a deciding factor for a growing number of internal and external stakeholders. OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS certification allows companies to prove and make clear that they are committed to taking responsibility for people and the environment.
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS helps brands, corporations, distributors and retailers to successfully prepare for the requirements of the EU-wide human rights due diligence directive and the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz).
Combined with an existing OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN label, the RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS certification can also be made visible at product level, thus significantly contributing to the consumer’s purchasing decision.What are the advantages of OEKO-TEX® RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS
