Our Philosophy

The GoodTextiles Foundation was established in 2016 and is a non-profit foundation. Our purpose is the creation of a more sustainable textile supply chain.

For this reason, we cooperate with organizations in the global south.

The project work is implemented by experts for sustainable textile production, environmental development and CSR initiatives. Our specialists not only bring their years of sustainability know-how, they live it every day and thereby set a good example. The insights gained resonate greatly and promote ecological, social and ethical growth in the textile industry.
