Oeko-Tex publishes 2024/2025 report
In the 2024/2025 financial year, certificate and testing institute Oeko-Tex issued more than 57,000 certificates, an 8% increase on the previous year.
Most of these, 36,500, were for Oeko-Tex Standard 100, but there was also growth in the leather certification business, with 126 facilities undergoing certification, a 4% increase on the previous year.
In its newly published annual report, the company said enhanced mutual recognition with Cradle to Cradle simplified processes, while joint initiatives with the Global Nature Fund deepened the commitment to biodiversity and water stewardship.
Dr Alfred Beerli, CEO of Oeko-Tex, said: “The progress made in 2024/2025 reflects the shared efforts of testing institutes, licence holders, partner organisations and stakeholders from industry and civil society.
"Their input has been essential in adapting tools to current and future needs. We invite all stakeholders to read the report, join the dialogue and help shape the next steps together.”
