The Certified Practices pillar is about transparency and confirmation of responsible practices through recognized international certifications and standards.

At Ethos of Gaia, certifications act as essential assessment tools. They help us ensure that raw materials, production processes and working conditions meet specific social and environmental criteria.

The certifications belong to the respective producers and suppliers and are displayed per product, where applicable, for complete and clear customer information.

At Ethos of Gaia we do not produce our own products. We select and curate items from partners in Europe and internationally, based on specific criteria of quality, responsibility and sustainability.

Our collection includes both small-scale handmade items and organized production products, which are manufactured in controlled units with an emphasis on certified raw materials, responsible production practices and transparency in the supply chain.

Each product is individually evaluated through the Ethos of Gaia Sustainability Pillars to ensure that it meets our philosophy of quality, aesthetics and responsible consumption.
