We verify. We do not claim .
A clear rule runs through everything we do: Setu holds no third-party certifications. We work with accredited bodies to verify standards in the supply chain, and we are precise about who issued what.
Where it’s made. Who made it. What it’s certified for.
Global Organic Textile Standard
Scope, chain of custody and transaction certificates at the mill level. We confirm the standard is current, scope covers the buyer’s fibre, and a transaction certificate can be issued for the specific shipment.
Standard 100 & STeP
We verify OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificates at component level (yarn, dye, finish) and surface the certificate number, expiry and issuing institute on every quote.
Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit
SMETA 4-pillar audits (Labour, Health & Safety, Environment, Business Ethics) arranged through accredited audit firms. We share the full audit report with the buyer, not a summary.
Business Social Compliance Initiative
BSCI audits coordinated where the buyer’s procurement policy requires them. Amfori-issued, with the audit ID and validity surfaced in our documentation.
Supplier-diversity frameworks
Setu is women-owned. We align with SheTrades (ITC) and WEConnect International frameworks. We provide ownership disclosure documentation for buyers who count our spend toward their supplier-diversity goals.
Rules-of-origin & trade preference
We prepare certificates of origin and support rules-of-origin claims for AGOA, SADC, EU GSP and India-ESA trade preferences where the goods qualify. Where they don’t, we say so.
