	Global Organic Textile Standard Global · Tier 2 Trusted	Luomu (Finland) Finland · Tier 2 Trusted	Ø Ø-mærket (Denmark) Denmark · Tier 1 Gold	Australian Certified Organic Australia · Tier 1 Gold
What it means	The strictest, most widely-recognised standard for organic textiles. Covers the full supply chain from organic fibre to finished garment, with environmental AND social criteria.	Finland's national organic 'Sun Mark' (Aurinkomerkki). Operated by the Finnish Food Authority. In practice most Finnish organic packaging carries both Luomu and the EU Leaf — they certify to the same baseline.	Denmark's national organic mark, owned by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. The red Ø is one of the most-trusted food labels in the world — recognised by ~98% of Danish consumers.	Australia's largest organic certifier, accredited under the Australian National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce. The bud-and-leaf logo is the most-seen organic mark in Australian supermarkets.

Guarantees	≥70% certified-organic natural fibre (the 'organic' grade requires ≥95%). Restricted dyes, no chlorine bleach, no formaldehyde, no banned heavy metals. Wastewater treatment requirements. Social standards based on ILO core conventions (no child labour, no forced labour, fair wages, safe workplace). Annual on-site inspection by IOAS-accredited certifier.	EU baseline organic (Finnish supply chains end-to-end). Annual on-site inspection by the Finnish Food Authority.	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. Direct government control (not a private body) — the unusual Danish model that drives high consumer trust.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection. Animal welfare and biodynamic-compatible production options.
Does NOT	Doesn't cover non-textile components (zips, buttons, prints) beyond the chemical-restriction list.	The Sun Mark is awarded only to fully Finnish supply chains — imports use the EU Leaf alone.	Outside Denmark, retailers usually rely on the EU Leaf rather than the Ø.	Australia has no single mandatory organic mark — ACO is the dominant one, but NASAA, OFC, and others also certify.
