OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN: 10 years of ethical and transparent production

The integration of the OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD ensures that every certified product is tested for harmful substances – meeting rigorous, annually updated criteria based on scientific and regulatory developments.

Today’s buyers demand traceable supply chains. MADE IN GREEN delivers, with each label carrying a unique ID or QR code that reveals a product’s journey from raw material to finished item. Over 300,000 scans in 2024 alone show the growing confidence in traceable sourcing.

All MADE IN GREEN products come from OEKO-TEX® STeP-certified facilities, adhering to strict environmental practices and ILO-aligned social standards with zero tolerance for forced labor, full worker protections and sustainable operations.

With leather being part of its scope and 16,927 new labels issued in 2024, OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN helps leather brands meet rising expectations for ethical, transparent production without compromise.
