TESTEX is committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

TESTEX is committed to the Sustainable Development Goals – a core component of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda. These Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015. At TESTEX, we’re actively helping to achieve all the UN Sustainable Development Goals that affect the textile and leather industry.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 03: health and well-being

Good health and well-being (UN SDG 3)

By awarding the OEKO-TEX® STeP certificate, we’re ensuring that all employees working in the textile supply chain can rely on safe workplaces, adequate hygiene and well-developed social security.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 05: gender equality

Gender equality (UN SDG 5)

Gender equality isn’t just something that we actively live and breathe in our company. We also stand up for these values when awarding OEKO-TEX® STeP and OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 06: clean water and sanitation

Clean water and sanitation (UN SDG 6)

With OEKO-TEX® DETOX TO ZERO , we’re helping producers to monitor and optimise their chemical management operations and wastewater quality.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 10: reduced inequalities

Reduced inequalities (UN SDG 10)

We are committed to ensuring that workers throughout the entire textile supply chain receive fair wages, work regulated hours and are treated equally – regardless of their skin colour, background, religion or sexual orientation.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 12: consumption and production

Responsible consumption and production (UN SDG 12)

Our certificates and labels guarantee that eco-friendly production processes are implemented for the long term. Supply chains become transparent and traceable, right down to the smallest detail. We thus help consumers to start acting responsibly.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 13: climate action

Climate action (UN SDG 13)

The last decade has been the warmest on record. With our company audits, certificates and labels, we help to minimise emissions in textile production and thus combat climate change and its impact.

UN Sustainable Development Goal 17: partnerships

Partnerships for the goals (UN SDG 17)

We cooperate with partners and other companies to harmonise sustainable standards and corresponding actions. We are involved in UN and OECD projects and support initiatives run by the ‘Partnership for Sustainable Textiles’ or the ZDHC.
