With the new STeP certification the OEKO-TEX Association supports other existing initiatives for implementing more sustainability such as the 'Higg Index' by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition or the 'Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC)'campaign. With requirements specifically adapted to the situation in the textile industry, Step currently offers the most comprehensive and reliable independent proof of sustainable conditions in textile production.
(STeP) is the new certification by the International OEKO-TEX Association for environmentally friendly and socially responsible companies in the textile chain. One focal point of the new STeP certification are extensive criteria based on recognized standards for ensuring socially acceptable working conditions as well as clearly defined guidelines regarding workplace safety.
Their implementation will contribute to the future prevention of catastrophes in textile production facilities such as the recent factory fire in Bangladesh.
