One seal says one thing, not everything.
Each certification measures something different and none measures all of it. Below is what each one promises, who audits it — and what it doesn't cover, which is usually the part nobody writes down.
GOLSGlobal Organic Latex Standard
Auditor and validity · awaiting the actual certificate
Certifies that the latex is organic at source and that the chain of custody held from the plantation to the finished block. It's the demanding one for our main material.
Doesn't cover
The cover fabrics, or working conditions at the sewing plant.
GOTSGlobal Organic Textile Standard
Control Union Certifications B.V. · valid until January 2027
Holder: Latex Green (Pvt) Ltd · No. CU1085130GOTS-2026-00026748
Covers the cotton in covers and sheets: organic growing, dyes without heavy metals, and social criteria verified at the spinning mill and the sewing floor.
Doesn't cover
The latex core, or the carbon footprint of transport.
FSCForest Stewardship Council
Chain-of-custody number · pending
Verifies that the rubber plantations are managed responsibly: no deforestation, clear tenure rights, and communities consulted.
Doesn't cover
Anything that happens after the tree: neither the curing nor the stitching.
What none of them certifies
That 25,000 hectares in Santander stopped growing coca. That has no seal — it has names, lots and dates, and it travels in the traceability certificate that comes with your order.

Certificate numbers are verified on each auditor's own site, not on ours.
1 of 3 seals already publish their certificate; the rest are waiting for theirs. Each document appears here once it arrives with its number and its validity — never before. That's this page's own rule.
