Making Sustainable Choices Easier for Everyone

Understanding bluesign Certification

To help reduce adverse impact on people and the planet, this product was made with materials produced in facilities assessed against bluesign Criteria, covering chemical management, resource use, environmental protection, and worker and social responsibility.

What is bluesign?

bluesign is an independent system that works behind the scenes of textile production to help make it safer for people and the planet.

Instead of testing only the final product, bluesign looks at the entire production process: which chemicals are used, how facilities operate, and whether workers and the environment are protected.

Every material in a bluesign certified product has been traced back to facilities that have been assessed by bluesign experts, in person, across six areas of responsibility.

How the bluesign System works

Input control

bluesign assesses chemicals before they enter the supply chain. Over 30,000 chemical products have been evaluated. This means problems are addressed at the source, not detected after production.

On-site assessment

bluesign experts visit facilities in person to assess how they operate across six areas. This is not a paper audit or a self-reported questionnaire.

Continuous improvement

Facilities receive tailored improvement roadmaps and work with bluesign over time. The goal is ongoing progress, not a one-time pass or fail.

Verified data

Manufacturers provide primary production data. bluesign experts verify this data and check it for plausibility. Decisions are based on real facility data, not estimates.

What is assessed

Management system
How the facility organizes its environmental and safety governance.

Product stewardship
How chemicals and materials are selected, tracked, and managed throughout production.

Resource productivity
How efficiently the facility uses water, energy, and raw materials.

Environment
How the facility manages air emissions, wastewater, and waste.

Occupational health and safety
How workers are protected from chemical exposure and workplace hazards.

Social responsibility
