Sea Shepherd Cooperation - For The Oceans

Sea Shepherd

Founded in 1977, 'SEA SHEPHERD' fights to preserve the oceans and their wildlife. They counter illegal whaling and fishing, campaign for the protection of all kinds of endangered species and clean up beaches and areas of water with the help of their volunteers. Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct action tactics to investigate, document and, when necessary, intervene to uncover and confront illegal activities on the high seas.

Der Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the world's leading standard for processing textiles made from organically-produced natural fibres. At a high level, it defines environmental requirements along the entire textile production chain and requires compliance with social criteria.

EMP Organic Cotton

Organic Cotton certification guarantees the ecological cultivation of the fibre.Organic cotton is produced and harvested according to the guidelines of organic farming.The use ofgenetically modified seeds is prohibited.In contrast to conventional cotton cultivation, the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers is prohibited.To maintain and improve natural soil fertility, manure and compost are used. To keep insects away, the fields are moved with other plants to keep the pests away. For example, sunflowers are planted around the cotton fields in West Africa. These attract pests such as the cotton capsule beetle and thus prevent infestation of the cotton plants. In addition, the farmers practice crop rotation. This means that cotton is grown in alternation with other crops such as tomatoes or peppers, etc. This also serves to care for the soil and prevents the spread of pests and diseases.
