What Do Sustainability Certifications (GOTS, OEKO-TEX, BCI) Actually Mean for Small Brands?

Sustainability has become a baseline expectation in fashion — not just a selling point. But for many D2C founders, understanding the difference between GOTS, OEKO-TEX, and BCI certifications can feel confusing and technical. These certifications don’t just add logos to your labels — they shape how your products are perceived, produced, and priced.

As one of India’s leading clothing manufacturers for sustainable apparel, LEMURA KNITWEAR works with certified suppliers to help small brands confidently source and communicate their environmental responsibility.
