Berto E.G. Industria Tessile Srl is OCS Certified by ICEA

Certified by ICEA
GOTS-10431
GOTS is the most widely recognized voluntary certification for textiles made from organic fibers. This rigorous standard requires complete traceability of the supply chain, full compliance with social responsibility and the application of environmental management practices. This certification, to grow natural organic fibers, prohibits the use of GMO seeds and highly hazardous chemicals. GOTS-certified fabrics must contain 70 percent or more organic fiber.

Berto has been Oeko-tex standard 100 certified since 1996. This is an international testing and certification system that guarantees the safety of the raw materials used and the absence of harmful chemicals on the finished fabric.
Better Cotton Initiative
Founded on seven principles: crop protection, water management, soil health, biodiversity, responsible land use, fiber quality, decent work and management system, the Better Cotton standard aims to promote continuous and measurable improvements for the environment and farming communities. Berto uses cotton grown, produced and marketed according to the Better Cotton standard.
Italian Detox Implementation Consortium
Greenpeace has identified the 11 most dangerous groups of chemicals and through the Detox Campaign is calling on companies to rid their clothing production of these products to stop polluting waterways. Berto Textile Industry recognizes the importance of eliminating hazardous substances from our production cycle. For this reason, in July 2016, we signed the Detox commitment, promoted by Greenpeace, thus beginning an important improvement journey. We share this commitment with a group of companies in the Prato textile district, under the coordination of Confindustria Toscana North. This new path aims to enrich our ongoing commitment to respecting the environment and the health of workers and consumers through quality products and processing, despite the fact that we did not use those substances in our production before.
