All MELA textiles are triple-certified according to the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and the Green Button. In our opinion, the social and ecological aspects of these standards complement each other perfectly, allowing us to confidently speak of holistically sustainable textiles. Through the Fairtrade Cotton Standard, we ensure compliance with social criteria in raw material sourcing. Great emphasis is placed on fair wages 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 item is certified with the government textile seal Grüner Knopf (Green Button), which verifies social and environmental criteria at both product and company levels.
