With multiple global standards available in today’s market, determining which certification aligns best with your sourcing strategy can be complex. If you are looking for an overview of sustainable sourcing in Peru, read our quick guide on sustainability certifications. Below, we compare the top three frameworks head-to-head to help you choose.

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

GOTS evaluates the entire supply chain, from raw organic fiber processing to the final garment. It enforces strict chemical input restrictions, environmental management, and mandatory social fairness criteria. It is the most comprehensive option if your brand requires full end-to-end assurance covering both material integrity and ethical factory conditions.

OCS (Organic Content Standard)

Managed by Textile Exchange, OCS is a chain-of-custody standard that verifies the presence and exact percentage of organic material in a final product. Unlike GOTS, it does not audit factory processing or labor conditions. It offers a flexible, efficient solution if your primary objective is confirming organic fiber percentages, particularly in complex fabric blends.

ROC (Regenerative Organic Certified)

ROC builds upon traditional organic standards by requiring agricultural practices that actively restore soil health, alongside strict pillars for animal welfare and social fairness. It represents the premier choice for retail brands looking to position themselves at the forefront of environmental restoration and high-impact sustainability storytelling.
