OEKO-TEX applauds updates to Partnership for Sustainable Textiles

16/06/2015
The OEKO-TEX Association has welcomed modifications to the German government’s Partnership for Sustainable Textiles, which gained the support of mail order giant Otto last week.

There are currently over 100 members.

OEKO-TEX secretary general Georg Dieners said: "We share the central objectives of the partnership and support its members in their efforts to achieve continual improvements to existing processes and working conditions in textile production around the world.

“To continue to enable support for this multi-stakeholder approach in the future, the International OEKOTEX Association joined the Textiles Partnership through the OEKO-TEX Foundation.
“We are happy to share our many years of market experience by acting as an intermediary between industry, trade, NGOs and politicians at the round table of the German federal government."

The Textiles Partnership, launched last May, aims to pool the expertise of its members to bring about social, ecological and economic improvements along the textile supply chain.
