OETI is committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

OETI is committed to the Sustainable Development Goals – a core component of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda. These Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015. At OETI, we’re actively helping to achieve all the UN Sustainable Development Goals affecting the industries we work for.

UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziel 03: Gesundheit

Good health and well-being (UN SDG 3)

By awarding OEKO-TEX® STeP by certificate, we’re ensuring that all employees working in the textile supply chain can rely on safe workplaces, adequate hygiene and well-developed social security.

UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziel 05: Gender-Gleichstellung

Gender equality (UN SDG 5)

Gender equality isn’t just something we actively live and breathe in our company. We also stand up for these values when awarding OEKO-TEX® STeP and OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN.

UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziel 06: Sauberes Wasser

Clean water and sanitation (UN SDG 6)

OEKO-TEX® DETOX TO ZERO, as part of OEKO-TEX® STeP, we’re helping producers to monitor and optimise their chemical management operations and wastewater quality.

UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziel 10: Ungleichheiten reduzieren

Reduced inequalities (UN SDG 10)

We are committed to ensuring that workers throughout the textile supply chain receive fair wages, work regulated hours and are treated equally – regardless of their skin colour, background, religion or sexual orientation.

UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziel 12: Konsum

Responsible consumption and production (UN SDG 12)

Our certificates and labels guarantee that eco-friendly production processes are implemented for the long term. Supply chains become transparent and traceable, right down to the smallest detail. We thus help consumers to start acting responsibly.

UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziel 17: Partnerschaften

Partnerships for the goals (UN SDG 17)

We cooperate with partners and companies to harmonise sustainable standards and corresponding actions. We are involved in UN and OECD projects and support initiatives run by the ‘Partnership for Sustainable Textiles’ or the ZDHC.

UN-Nachhaltigkeitsziel 13: Klima

Climate action (UN SDG 13)

The last decade has been the warmest on record. With our company audits, certificates and labels, we help to minimise emissions in textile production and thus combat climate change and its impact.
