The actions in the planet pillar aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from all our activities, in line with the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal. In line with this standard, we will reduce our GHG emissions across our value chain by 2050 compared to 2022.
A commitment to the planet throughout our value chain
GOTS
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is an independent label, widely recognised by retailers. It guarantees that a garment qualifies as ‘organic’, and applies from the harvesting of raw materials through to manufacturing, labelling and processing. All stages in the manufacture of the garment must be ecologically and socially responsible. A GOTS product is one that contains at least 70% organic fibres and no harmful substances. Its manufacture must be environmentally friendly from start to finish (including processing). Socially, it is a product that is manufactured in compliance with the conventions of the International Labour Organisation. GOTS-certified factories and suppliers are regularly audited by independent bodies. As GOTS certification applies to every stage in the production chain, right through to marking, JOY THAI is able to offer GOTS-certified products to customers who so wish.
OCS Blended
The OCS BLENDED standard applies to all non-food products containing a minimum of 5% organic cotton. It applies to clothing made from a blend of organic cotton and other materials. The new sweatshirts offered by SOL'S in 2021 qualify for this label, as they are made from 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester. They do not therefore qualify for the OCS 100 label, as they are not made exclusively from cotton. However, we have decided that 100% of the cotton in these garments should be organic.
OCS 100
The OCS 100 standard applies to products containing between 95 and 100% organic material. OCS 100 covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, marketing and distribution of all products containing at least 95% certified organic materials. For Solo Paris, this certification has been awarded to all new 2021 products from each of the group's brands containing 100% cotton, as well as to the entire RTP APPAREL collection. Our ambition is to gradually replace regularly produced cotton with organic cotton in all our collections. This is already the case in the SOL'S baby range and we're going to continue!

PETA
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the world's largest animal rights organisation, with over 6.5 million members and supporters. The ‘PETA-Approved Vegan’ label shows that certified products contain no animal materials and that no animals were exploited or mistreated during their design and manufacture.
OEKO TEX
OEKO TEX® STANDARD 100 certification guarantees that garments bearing this label do not contain any harmful substances and are therefore safe for the health of their wearers. This guarantee applies not only to the main material(s) of which the garment is made, but also to all its accessories: buttons, cords, threads, zips, linings, etc.
