What is OEKO-TEX® STeP ?
Unlike many other standards, certification according to OEKO-TEX® STeP does not test the products as such, but the conditions under which they are produced.
OEKO-TEX® STeP helps all the companies involved in the production process to act in an eco-friendly, socially acceptable and sustainable way.
OEKO-TEX® STeP allows you to show your consumers that you comply with the highest social and environmental standards throughout the entire supply chain.
