The organization brings together stakeholders from the entire textile supply chain, and its objective is to reduce the impact of textile production on the planet and its people. As such, bluesign\u00ae experts monitor every single stage of the manufacturing process.\r\n\r\nBrands hoping to obtain the bluesign\u00ae seal of approval have their factories regularly inspected and audited, and they have to adhere to strict <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/sustainability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sustainability<\/a> and traceability guidelines devised by the certifying organization.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone wp-image-17369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Bluesign_label.jpg\" alt=\"Bluesign Label\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" \/>","post_faq_is_response_open":true}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"faq_zone","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"How bluesign\u00ae works","faq_title":"","faq_text_content":"","post_faq":[{"post_faq_question":"How bluesign\u00ae works","post_faq_response":"The manufacture of textiles requires the use of chemicals, which is why there is a strong focus on sustainable chemistry at bluesign\u00ae. The group works closely with brands, manufacturers as well as chemical suppliers to keep harmful chemicals out of the textile production process. They also call upon chemistry experts and other specialists to keep innovating and finding new ways to create great products while reducing the impact on the planet at the same time.\r\n\r\nEfficiency is a key area of importance for bluesign\u00ae as well, and the group helps factories become more efficient by optimizing their water and energy consumption, as well as their use of chemicals. It also looks at minimizing air and water emissions, and as such, manufacturers are bound by strict pollution control standards. This is why the bluesign\u00ae mark is one of the best-known, and most trusted, in the outdoor apparel industry.\r\n\r\nThe bluesign\u00ae certification also covers the social aspect of the textile industry.
