Product testing is good. System verification is better. Sustainability is an important quality attribute today. But not every sustainability label stands for the same standards.

What is bluesign®?

As an independent assessor, bluesign® combines chemical management, environmental standards, resource efficiency, and occupational safety into an integrated system. Risks should not just be identified—they are reduced right from the start of the process.

For us, sustainability means not just product testing, but responsibility within the system. Product testing reacts; system control prevents.

As a bluesign® system partner, we adhere to this holistic approach. bluesign® does not merely test individual ingredients or the finished product.

The system begins at the very start of the production chain and monitors:

• Assessment of chemicals used prior to production
• Mandatory environmental management in the factory
• Monitoring of emissions and wastewater
• Measurable optimization of water and energy consumption
• Mandatory occupational safety and production conditions
• Transparency throughout the supply chain

Standards such as OEKO-TEX® or GOTS make valuable contributions—for example, through testing for harmful substances or by setting requirements for organic natural fibers. They provide important impetus in the market and create transparency at the product level.

But the difference lies in the approach. OEKO-TEX® focuses primarily on testing products or chemicals for harmful substances.

We deliberately go one step further. Instead of merely having the result tested, we optimize the entire manufacturing process and monitor the production system.

Our Commitment

As a bluesign® system partner, we meet comprehensive requirements throughout the entire production chain and ensure that the impact on people and the environment is minimized.

By purchasing products bearing the bluesign® PRODUCT or APPROVED label, you support companies in their sustainable development and become part of a unique movement.
