The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the internationally applied standard for the processing of organically produced natural fibers. The GOTS standard ensures safety and hygiene conditions in production facilities, ensures compliance with social criteria such as fair wages and defines environmental requirements along the entire production chain. The majority of our collection is certified with the GOTS seal. Not only our producers are certified with the GOTS seal. Also as a company we carry this seal. This enables us to show that the production chain is closed, starting with our producers and ending with us, and that all sustainability aspects are taken into account comprehensively. Our license number is: CU844876. You can find us in the GOTS database, in which all certified companies are listed.
Good Weave
The GoodWeave quality seal distinguishes handmade carpets in compliance with social standards. The GoodWeave carpet seal was initiated by Indian non-governmental organizations, German and international aid organizations, as well as the GTZ (Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit GmbH) in order to abolish child labor in India and Nepal and instead grant children access to education. It also stands for the consideration of social and environmental standards such as fair wages, safe and hygienic working conditions, and reasonable working hours for carpet weavers. Each GoodWeave seal is marked with a code. With the help of these codes, it is possible to trace where each individual carpet comes from. The fees for the certifications are paid by the exporters and importers and thus finance the controls of the social and educational programs.
Organic Cotton
For our fashion we use mostly organic cotton. For the production of organic cotton much less water is needed than for conventional cotton and we are able to save resources already with the raw material. Furthermore, organic cotton grows without the use of toxic pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers or genetically modified seeds. As a result, production has much less impact on the environment and our organic styles are more skin-friendly. That feels great on your skin!
From the very beginning, Tranquillo has always been committed to fairness in dealing with partners. We have many years of experience with many of our manufacturers. Together we pursue our goals towards sustainability. On site we initiate concrete improvements in working conditions which have an impact on the quality of our products. We use organic cotton for our fashion collection and pay attention to the best mix of sustainable production and the longest possible durability of the garments in the material composition of our products.
Garments that we do not sell within a season get a second chance. Several times a year we organize a warehouse sale in our furniture warehouse in Dresden, where you have the opportunity to get a bargain from past collections. The next stock sale will take place from 9th to 12th December. HIER you will learn more.
We use LED lighting in our stores and offices. We use about six times less electricity and the LED lamps do not end up in hazardous waste at the end of their life. We choose the most environmentally friendly and efficient way to transport our products. Only in exceptional cases do we resort to air freight. Packages are lined with recycled material and cardboard boxes are reused several times. If they can no longer be used, we return them to the recycling cycle. We print our catalogs and flyers on recycled paper. It is important to us to treat our environment with consideration. This is not always easy in the fashion industry. As an ecologically oriented label, our customers naturally measure us against conventionally producing suppliers. We scrutinize our production steps, weigh up and orientate ourselves to our standards. In this way we initiate long-term changes with our manufacturers and remain dynamic ourselves. Together we develop further and contribute to a fair and environmentally conscious future.
It is particularly important to us to implement our sustainability standards in Lifestyle as well. All our carpets are certified with the GoodWeave seal. Our kitchen and bathroom textiles, cloth bags and cosmetic bags are made of soft organic cotton that is GOTS certified. Close contact with our manufacturers and regular on-site visits ensure that social standards such as fair wages and appropriate working hours are observed in the manufactories.
We are particularly proud of our fair trade soaps. These are made with love and from high-quality, natural ingredients. They are free of palm oil and we have also reduced our packaging design.
