SGS explains how bluesign certification empowers greener fashion choices

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND / AGILITYPR.NEWS / October 15, 2024 / SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published a Consumer Compact article looking at the issues around sustainability and making sustainable purchasing choices when buying clothes.

Demand for sustainable clothing is increasing, with a predicted 1.4 percentage point increase between 2023 and 2026. However, the proliferation of claims and labels can make it challenging for consumers to find products that are genuinely sustainable.

The bluesign® PRODUCT label shows a product adheres to the highest safety standards, meets minimum requirements for environmental and human impact, and is made using responsibly-sourced materials. It can be used on a variety of products, from clothing to home textiles, and even tents.

SGS’s Consumer Compact article looks at the industry barriers to sustainability and explains the robust criteria for bluesign® PRODUCT certification and why it means consumers can trust it.
