STeP by OEKO-TEX®

STeP by OEKO-TEX® is a modu­lar cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on sys­tem for pro­duc­tion faci­li­ties in the tex­ti­le and lea­ther indus­try, accor­ding to which Ket­tel­hack has been cer­ti­fied sin­ce 2020.

STeP stands for Sus­tainable Tex­ti­le & Lea­ther Pro­duc­tion and fol­lows a holi­stic approach. The stan­dard takes a look at dif­fe­rent are­as of the com­pa­ny in 6 modules:

• Che­mi­cals management
• Envi­ron­men­tal performance
• Envi­ron­men­tal management
• Social respon­si­bi­li­ty
• Qua­li­ty management
• Health pro­tec­tion and occu­pa­tio­nal health and safety

STeP by OEKO-TEX® sets con­tent requi­re­ments for the indi­vi­du­al busi­ness are­as. This stan­dard is thus an ide­al com­ple­ment to our exis­ting envi­ron­men­tal manage­ment sys­tem accor­ding to EMAS, which pri­ma­ri­ly con­ta­ins sys­te­mic requirements.
