Zurich-based STeP by OEKO-TEX® makes the sustainability of production facilities throughout the textile-value creation chain visible using a transparent scoring system. The STeP standard gives brands, retailers and manufacturers the opportunity to have each area of their company’s facilities analyzed and assessed according to environmental and social criteria by an independent body. As of Feb. 1, 2016, new criteria are in effect for STeP sustainability assessments.
