Germany introduces Grüner Knopt certification for textiles

The German government will launch the Grüner Knopt certification in September 2019 which would support all textile articles that follow certain social and environmental criteria. The certification will define the concept of eco-fashion. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) will be in charge of this certification and will evaluate companies and its products. For now, starting next month, a pilot test will be executed up until the end of 2020.

This certification counts with 26 requisites in terms of social and environmental responsibility. Companies that want to add this seal will have to prove its performance in terms of human rights like the ones established by the UN and the Ocde. One the criterion for example is the payment of a fair salary.

The certification will be applicable to all the companies that manufacture and commercialise any type of textile item, including suppliers and retailers.
