Supporting credible sustainability claims<\/h2>\n

For more than 20 years, Textile Exchange\u2019s system of material-specific standards has guided the fashion, textile, and apparel industry toward more sustainable production. Each standard had its own focus and structure, helping to build trust and accountability, and meet the needs of stakeholders. Our role is to develop, revise, and own these standards. Auditing and certification to our standards are handled by third-party certification bodies<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

The new standard sets\u202fdetailed requirements for the production and primary processing of raw materials\u2014from how land, water, and energy are used, to how working conditions, animal welfare, emissions, chemicals, and waste are managed. Its purpose is to provide a common language and shared direction for the industry, while recognizing the unique contexts of different material producers, processors, and the communities and landscapes they depend on.<\/span>\u202f<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
