Description

As sustainability claims face increasing scrutiny from regulators, brands, and consumers alike, independent standards have never been more important. This webinar will provide a practical overview of what it truly means to be OEKO-TEX® certified, and why credible, third-party standards are essential for building trust in sustainable textile claims.

We’ll explore the role OEKO-TEX® certification plays across the textile supply chain, from raw materials to finished products, and how testing, audits, and ongoing verification help ensure safety, transparency, and compliance. The session will clarify the differences between key OEKO-TEX® certifications, what they cover, and how they support brands and suppliers in navigating chemical management, product safety, and evolving regulatory expectations.

Designed for brands, manufacturers, and sustainability professionals, this webinar will move beyond logos and labels to explain how standards translate into measurable, credible action and why they matter now more than ever.

NOTE: in order to register for this event you must login as a registered user or member of the CAF.
