All organic? Part 1 – Digital transparency and evidence-based traceability with OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON

• Time: 10:00 – 11:00 am (CEST, UTC+2)
• Speaker: Lidia Spreng, EU Business Development Manager for OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON

Demand for organic cotton is rising rapidly—but so are the risks of fraud and supply chain inconsistencies. Recent public investigations have highlighted critical challenges across the industry, including the duplication of certified volumes and limited transparency in upstream supply chains.

Traditional paper-based systems—such as fragmented documentation and PDF transaction certificates—are no longer sufficient to ensure credible verification of certified fibres.

To build real trust in organic cotton claims, brands, retailers, and manufacturers need more than documentation. They need trusted, verified data and validated claims. Digital traceability and a reliable chain of custody are becoming essential foundations for regulatory compliance, responsible sourcing, and credible sustainability communication.

In this expert webinar, you will discover how innovative technology and a closed certification system can help ensure transparency, minimize reputational risks, and strengthen consumer confidence.

OEKO-TEX® and TextileGenesisTM have partnered to enable end-to-end traceability for OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON—from fibre to finished product.

• Why a closed certification and testing system combined with digital traceability provides greater reliability than conventional standard systems
• How certification for brands and retailers is optional, allowing you to maintain flexibility while benefiting from increased transparency

Why you should attend
