The GOLS addresses criteria for natural rubber latex from certified organic plantations (USDA NOP or EU) that is processed at manufacturing units. To achieve GOLS certification, a product must contain more than 95% of certified organic raw material. The Standard also addresses aspects such as human health, safety and welfare, and environment in the manufacturing process of organic latex products. Rubber plantations as well as processing units up to the final retailer are certified to the GOLS.

The Sustainable Fiber Program is a production and processing Standard that was designed in 2012 to address the need for a comprehensive and inclusive program on natural fibers. It is built around three main pillars: agricultural, animal husbandry and processing pillars and requires compliance with eight sections total, including general principles, quality control, social criteria, safety & hygiene, and inspection of smallholder farmer groups. From the perspective of Textile Exchange, the SFP is a Standard in development. In scope of the standard is the entire chain of custody, from farm, ginning, spinning, fabric and other manufacturing processes all the way to the brand/retail/wholesale level.

The aim of this Standard is to define requirements to ensure that trims, jewelry and accessories are manufactured/prepared/made under positive social and environmental practices, from sourcing of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer. This Standard covers the sourcing, production, processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading and distribution of all jewelry and accessories made with certified natural and/or synthetic material.

The intent of the Standard is to capture the use of non-genetically modified methods for any farmer, processor, or other stakeholder. The goal of the Standard is to outline the necessary procedures for products to qualify as non-GMO production. The Standard pivots around the claim ‘no genetically engineered ingredients’ to highlight the manner of production of a product.

The Vegan Standard intends to provide support for plant-based lifestyles. The aim is to ensure certified products do not contain animal products or byproducts. The Standard also aims to assess good practices in the production and processing of certified products. It covers production, processing, and transportation of certified products. The goal is to have this Standard made applicable to both food and non-food sectors.
