The Friend of the Earth Sustainable Textiles Standard (FOEST) is a third-party certification that helps ensure textile products are made using responsible materials, ethical labor practices, safe chemistry, and transparent supply chains from fiber to finished product.

FOEST supports fabric and textiles companies that want to move beyond claims and clearly demonstrate their sustainability commitments.

Fashion is more than what we wear. It is how it is made and how it is proven!

This Fashion Revolution Week 2026 highlights a powerful message. Change in the fashion industry cannot happen alone. It requires collective action across the entire value chain, from producers to brands to consumers.

With growing public awareness and demand for traceability, many global brands are shifting towards collections made with certified sustainable content derived from organic, recycled, or responsibly sourced materials.

Control Union has played a key role in supporting the textile industry in meeting evolving sustainability standards. From contributing to the development of the EKO Sustainable Textile Standard, one of the first standards addressing sustainability in textiles, to actively supporting initiatives like the Responsible Down Standard, we continue to help bring credibility to sustainability claims.

As expectations grow, certification and verification are essential to ensure transparency, accountability, and trust across the supply chain. Real impact happens when we work together.

Let’s keep asking the question, " Who made my clothes?" and move towards answers backed by transparency, traceability, and collective action.

Food waste remains a global challenge, impacting food security, resources, and the climate. This International Day of Zero Waste highlights the need to reduce waste across the value chain, from farm to fork.

At Control Union, we support businesses in transforming waste into value. Through better segregation, recycling, and evolving waste management practices, organizations can reduce waste volumes while recovering energy and resources.

With the growing role of waste as a resource, from waste to energy solutions to material reuse, the industry is moving towards a more circular future. Our inspection and certification services help ensure quality, compliance, and efficiency across waste and recycling processes.

Let’s rethink waste and make every resource count.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐭. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞.

Today, the world marks 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲, with a focus on food — a resource too valuable to waste.

Food waste is not random. It is driven by gaps in systems, visibility, and control across the value chain.

At 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐚, our approach to waste sits within a broader circular economy framework — where materials are tracked, verified, and kept in use.

𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
(HACCP, FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, GMP+, BRCGS)
→ Prevent contamination, reducing product recalls and disposal
→ Ensure proper storage conditions (temperature, humidity, shelf life)
→ Strengthen traceability, minimising unnecessary disposal during incidents
→ Enable proper handling of non-conforming products (segregation, rework, disposal control)

𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲 & 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
(GRS, ISCC PLUS, VER𝚁A, PWR𝚂, ZWTL and more)
→ Verified material flows and recycled content
→ End-to-end traceability across supply chains
→ Independent validation of waste reduction and resource recovery
Zero waste is not a campaign. It is a system — built on data, verification, and accountability.

This 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲, move beyond managing waste — start managing systems.
