Credible claims are vital for consumers to trust that products meet specific standards and are genuinely certified. Programs and standards like The Textile Exchange (TE),  Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Sustainable Fiber Alliance reinforce credible claims by providing clear guidelines and certification processes that ensure products are produced according to strict environmental and/or social responsibility standards.

For companies to make credible claims about product certification, they must meet relevant standards and be verified by an approved certification body, which issues a Scope Certificate (SC). The SC authorizes the company to process specific certified products. However, this alone does not guarantee that a product is certified; a Transaction Certificate (TC) must accompany the product to confirm its certification. Therefore, before placing an order, it’s essential to verify that the supplier’s SC is valid and that the product is listed on it.

The Importance of Raw Material Traceability

Raw material traceability is essential in the textile industry for ensuring ethical production, environmental responsibility, and transparency throughout the supply chain. By tracking the origin and production processes of materials, companies can verify adherence to ethical standards, support fair working conditions, and promote environmentally friendly practices. This traceability also enhances consumer confidence, fosters trust and collaboration among supply chain partners, and improves quality control. As consumer awareness grows, traceability offers brands a competitive edge by demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and ethical values, ultimately contributing to a fairer and more sustainable textile industry.

What is a Transaction Certificate?

A Transaction Certificate (TC) is a document issued by a certification body that verifies products conform to specific standards and can be treated as claimed materials by the receiver. It provides details about the product, shipping, and supply chain, ensuring that the shipment and product information are accurate and properly documented. TCs are crucial for verifying responsible sourcing and maintaining transparency in the flow of goods.

Why Are Transaction Certificates Important?

Transaction Certificates (TCs) are crucial for ensuring that products meet certification standards throughout the supply chain. They provide essential transparency, verifying that the product contains the materials claimed by manufacturers and can be traced back to the source. This traceability reassures both consumers and manufacturers about the authenticity and integrity of the products.
