Both GoBlu and Centrocot have partnerships with Oeko-Tex, which certifies non-hazardous end-products and all of their components.

Centrocot is said to be one of only 17 institutes worldwide authorised to issue Oeko-Tex Standard 100, STeP, Made in Green, Eco Passport, Leather Standard, Organic Cotton, and Responsible Business certifications and labels.

GoBlu says it has established a strong partnership with Oeko-Tex, leading to several accomplishments in recent years, including the integration of the BHive into Oeko-Tex STeP Certification.

Jeanologia, a supplier of sustainable garment finishing processes, and GoBlu joined forces in June to introduce a verification programme for the Environmental Impact Measuring (EIM) Scores.

In April, GoBlu and software solutions company BluWin announced a strategic partnership aimed at encouraging the use of more sustainable chemical products in the fashion and textile industry.
