Sustainable Textile Production — STeP

What is it?

OEKO-TEX® STeP (Sustainable Textile & Leather Production) is the facility certificate that assesses a production site’s sustainability across six modules — chemical management, environmental performance, environmental management, social responsibility, quality management, and health & safety. It is scored at three levels, where Level 3 is highest.

What it covers

Fersan’s scope is knitting, pretreatment, dyeing and finishing. The facility meets ZDHC MRSL 3.1 requirements; the overall result is Level 2.

Why it matters

Beyond any single test, it independently grades the whole chemical and environmental discipline of production — Level 2 indicates a strong, mature sustainability standing.
