GOTS guarantees that cotton is organically grown without the use of any harmful chemicals like pesticides, fertilizers and insecticides. It also guarantees that GMO seeds were not used. All of these methods are dangerous for the environment and for the health of humans and animals. GOTS ensures traceability for products, from the field to the final customer. This includes transactions certificates at each and every step of production and the supply chain. www.gots.com
