Approved consultants

Several independent individuals or companies have been offering expert consultancy services to the textile industry to achieve certification to GOTS/GRTS for textile operations or to receive approval for chemical inputs.

Global Standards acknowledges the fact that there is a need that these individuals or companies are vetted and approved by Global Standards so that they disseminate accurate information to the textile industry. Global Standards has therefore formulated a policy to ensure that the industry receives correct knowledge of the standard requirements and the mandatory processes and procedures within the operations of a GOTS/GRTS certified entity.

The policy covers approval of formal consultancy services imparted to prospective or existing GOTS/GRTS Certified Entities or Operators, Chemical Suppliers, Brands and Retailers at their request. Approvals to individuals will only be granted after evaluation of a formal application (using the application form) and payment of the required application fees. The application has to be submitted to the Global Standards Management. On successful completion of assessment, the consultant will be formally required to sign a contract with Global Standards as part of the approval process.

Approved Consultants will be listed on the Global Standards website and will have limited leave to use the trademarked GOTS/GRTS logo.

These consultants work independently, are not employed by Global Standards. The associated fee for the consultation service is determined individually by the consultants.
