The STeP by OEKO-TEX standard applies to the certification of production plants throughout the textile and leather production chain.

For leather, including production plants from ashing to retanning, dyeing, fatliquoring and finishing plants, as well as leather sewing, leather logistics centers and accessories manufacturers.
The modular support of STeP certification provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of all relevant business areas, including the use of environmental technologies and products, the efficient use of resources, and compliance with social work conditions. In addition to the full STeP certification, an internal STeP assessment is also available, allowing the company to conduct an initial sustainability assessment. The system certification will assess the applicants from six aspects, quality management, chemicals management, environmental management, environmental protection, social responsibility, health and safety. The goal of STeP certification is to achieve permanent environmentally friendly production processes and safe, socially recognized working conditions in the production of the textile industry chain. Regular updates to the STeP standard help certified companies continuously improve their environmental performance and social responsibility and increase their productivity. In short, this will promote their most competitive position in the market.
