It requires natural fibers to be certified organically grown according to EU directives and it requires controls throughout the production chain of the organic cotton.

- The raw material is organically grown without pesticides
- The product does not contain chemicals hazardous to health and the environment

- workers are paid a fair living wage
- The product is of a certain quality (for example, in terms of wear and shrinkage)
