Our sustainability statement
Quality, transparency and respect for mankind and the environment. These core values are central to our company's corporate social responsibility. At each stage of the manufacturing process, we ask ourselves whether a better choice is possible. Which is why we are committed to a minimum ecological footprint and the use of as many sustainable materials as possible. And we still attach great value to the fundaments introduced in 1987 by State of Art founder Albert Westerman: entering into long-term partnerships based on trust. For it is precisely these long-term relationships with our suppliers - and meticulous approach towards them - that make it easier to guarantee quality and sustainability.
Together for a better world
Together, one step at a time, we can improve the clothing industry. With more responsible choices. State of Art aspires to a manufacturing process in which everything, from a social and ecological point of view, is made in the best possible way.
Thanks to labels and tools such as GOTS and tex.tracer, we can grow towards sustainable and transparent business operations. So that the consumer knows where he or she stands. Throughout the chain, from cotton production to transport, we ensure that all steps comply with the standards for a safe working environment and humane conditions.
Responsible. Together.
And that is how we do it!
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is a leading international label that guarantees that clothing manufacture takes place in an environmentally friendly and responsible manner. State of Art is GOTS-certified and supplies sustainable and responsible items that have been monitored throughout the entire production process, and that meet these strict criteria.
Transparency is a key value for State of Art in terms of sustainable entrepreneurship. We believe it is important to be honest and open about everything we do. That's why, with the tex.tracer, we give you the opportunity to follow the manufacturing process of a particular garment. Transparency at its best. Would you also like to find out more about the journey your garment has made?

GOTS | From the cotton field to the finished product
GOTS stands for ‘Global Organic Textile Standard’ and is the world's leading sustainable standard for textiles made from organic fibres. It also sets high social and ecological criteria for the entire supply chain – from the cotton field to the finished product.
