Oeko-Tex to receive new accolade
International testing and certification system Oeko-Tex Standard 100 will be awarded a new accolade this summer. The "Selected Location in the Land of Ideas" award is a collaborative initiative introduced by the German government and German industry representatives.
Since 2006, companies and institutions that have excelled through innovation and invention, resourcefulness and richness of ideas, have been presented with the award.
The panel of experts from the "Land of Ideas" paid tribute to the commitment of the International Oeko-Tex Association in its 20-year anniversary year. Around 10,000 companies around the globe now work with the company, producing textile products that pose no risk to health.
Jutta Knels from the OEKO-TEX Foundation received the
"Selected Location in the Land of Ideas" honour plaque at the State
Chancellery of the Federal State of Hesse. The official award ceremony takes
place on August 31 at the Oeko-Tex Certification Centre in Frankfurt.
