GOTS, the Global Organic Textile Standard, certifies the whole chain of a textile product made from organic fibres, from fibre to finished product, with rules on chemicals, wastewater and social conditions. To use the "organic" label the product must contain at least 95% certified organic fibres, and at least 70% for "made with organic".
You need it when your brand sells organic cotton clothing and wants to use the GOTS logo. That requires certified fabric and a chain in which every link holds its own certificate, and a trader in the middle must be covered too.
