GOTS walks through each step of the supply chain, from the raw materials to the final product, in order to keep track of whether they are respectful in social and ecological aspects.

Using this label means supporting agricultural practices that transition to organic farming: the land becomes switched from conventional to organic.

The Fairtrade Standard strives for the safe and sustainable working conditions of the workers along the industry supply chain. It is applicable to both Fairtrade cotton and other environmentally friendly fibers.

The Fairtrade Standard is applicable for certified companies in the textile supply chain and the organisations that use certified supply chains for its production. It strives for agreement on fair terms and a fair price.

Egyptian Cotton is the finest cotton in the world, and this trademark is the way to ensure that clients recognize the mark of quality.

Egyptian cotton has extra-long staples, which means each individual fiber is exceptionally long. For sheets to be considered 100% Egyptian, the cotton should be sourced exclusively from Egypt through sellers with a certification from the Cotton Egypt Association.

BCI is the largest cotton sustainability program in the world that promotes a socially and environmentally improved way of producing cotton for a desirable future industry.

BCI is a concept to grow cotton with judicious use of water, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides to reduce the environmental footprint of cotton farming. However, BCI isn't organic as it uses genetically modified cotton seeds and pesticides. This is within the "Integrated Pest Management" framework that seeks to minimize their use. (This is cotton in conversion, and sometimes it can be conventional cotton as well.)
