Our Certifications

Our commitment to you

We’re passionate about our environment and the people who live in it. That’s why we feel our customers deserve to know where their clothes come from, how they’re made and who is making them.

We are committed to producing high-quality products and focus on sustainable materials and practices so that we have a minimum footprint on our planet and a positive impact on its people. We feel it’s important to substantiate our eco stance with as much disclosure as possible. Here’s a detailed list of our accredited certifications and what they mean.

You can learn more about our ethics and sustainability in our Code of Conduct.


ECOCERT

Ecocert is an inspection and certification body accredited under the International Standard ISO Guide 65 (EN 45011). Founded in 1991 in France by agricultural engineers aware of the need to develop agricultural practices that respects the environment, Ecocert has become the leader in Organic Certification globally.

At each step, Ecocert provides a guarantee of traceability and transparency that meets the expectations of consumers and users. Certification is subject to supervision and requires site visits.

We are proud that the raw bamboo we use to make Boody's signature bamboo viscose yarn is certified as organically grown by Ecocert.

OEKO-TEX

Our skin-healthy products, including all threads, fabrics, zips and buttons, meet STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, an internationally recognised and independent body specialised in testing the skin safety of finished textile products. Boody products have successfully passed tests for harmful substances and contain no dangerous substances such as AZO dyestuffs, phthalates, formaldehyde, and extractable heavy metals. Those with sensitive skin and skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and contact dermatitis will be particularly pleased to know that all Boody garments carry the “Confidence in Textile” label.

FSC

The Forest Stewardship Council's label is the mark of responsible forestry. All bamboo involved in the production of Boody comes from FSC-certified forests that follow FSC-defined best practices throughout the production and supply chain. This means that the farming and harvesting of our bamboo fibre crops used to produce Boody do not contribute to natural habitat loss or destruction.

PETA Vegan Approved

With more than 6.5 million members and supporters worldwide, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organisation on the planet. We’re pleased to see that all Boody products are PETA Vegan Approved and certified, seeing that no animal products are used in the production of our garments (making it 100% vegan). We work with certified factories and suppliers to produce bamboo-rich clothing, but the bamboo used to produce our fabrics is not the same bamboo that pandas eat. Meaning no pandas have gone hungry in the creation of our clothing! See info on our EcoCert and and FSC certifications to learn more about our bamboo.
