Kingly is proud to be among the very few sock producers in the global promotional market to hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification — registration number CU1087797.
This accreditation cements Kingly’s position as a leader in sustainable textile manufacturing. GOTS is the world’s most rigorous and respected certification for organic fibres. It governs the entire production process from seed to finished product, ensuring no toxic chemicals, no greenwashing, and no worker exploitation.
GOTS guarantees environmental integrity, full traceability, and social responsibility at every stage of manufacturing. It’s not easy to achieve, and that’s exactly why it matters.
And while GOTS sets the standard, Kingly goes even further. The company maintains the following certifications and audits to ensure compliance with international standards:
- GRS (Global Recycled Standard) – Verified recycled content and responsible sourcing;
- OEKO-TEX® STeP Level 3 – Maximum sustainability rating for safe, clean production;
- SMETA Pillar 4 – Full compliance with social, environmental, and ethical practices;
- EcoVadis Platinum – Recognized in the top 1% globally for sustainability;
- ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 – International standards for quality, environment, and worker safety;
- Pantone® License – Official partner of the world’s colour authorit.
“Many companies talk about sustainability. At Kingly, we’ve built our entire operation around it — and we can prove it,” said Robert Armour, CEO of Kingly. “GOTS certification reinforces what our clients already know: we’re not here to follow the market. We’re here to lead it.”
Kingly’s GOTS-certified organic cotton socks are supported by full sustainability reports, providing measurable impact data on water savings, CO₂ reductions, and material traceability — giving resellers and brands the tools they need to back up their own sustainability claims.
