Attendees at Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT), 28 February-1 March, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, had the opportunity to learn more about us at our GOTS booth. In addition, Felicia Shi, GOTS Representative in APAC, delivered a well-received presentation titled, “Meet GOTS – Your Source for Sustainable and Ethical Textiles Made with Organic Fibres”.
VIATT was the first trade show organised by the renowned trade show organiser Messe Frankfurt, marking their debut in this growing market. This is also an exciting cooperation between GOTS and Messe Frankfurt, in addition to the existing shows in APAC region. With Vietnam’s increasing importance in sustainable textiles, this event promises to be instrumental in furthering awareness and impact in the region.
GOTS Certified Entities in Vietnam grew from 65 in 2022 to 92 in 2023, and this was reflected by the number of visitors to the GOTS booth who mentioned obtaining certification in the past year.
“When asked about their motivation for being GOTS-certified, they gave an impressive answer, ‘Becoming GOTS-certified enhances our competitiveness’, highlighting the gold standard’s value in the global market,” said Felicia Shi, GOTS Representative in APAC.
