MELA clothing is triple certified according to Fairtrade Cotton, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and the Grüner Knopf (Green Button). In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, allowing us to speak with a clear conscience of holistically sustainable textiles.

• The Fairtrade Cotton Standard ensures compliance with social criteria in raw material sourcing. Special emphasis is placed on fair remuneration for cotton farmers. With every MELA item purchased, you support Indian cotton cooperatives with a Fairtrade premium. Furthermore, MELA is part of the new Fairtrade Textile Standard and advocates for living wages along the entire supply chain.
• The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures that only ecologically optimized substances are used along the entire supply chain – from cotton cultivation to fabric dyeing – and that social standards are met. This is monitored by independent certification bodies.
• Additionally, this fashion item is certified with the governmental textile label Grüner Knopf (Green Button), which checks social and environmental criteria at both product and company level.
