Organic Basics was founded and is run from Copenhagen and you will find all their suppliers in Europe. The brand provides comprehensive information about their suppliers, many of which hold industry standards such as GOTS, SA8000, OEKO-TEX or Bluesign®. They are B-Corp certified organisation (alongside Patagonia and All Birds) which means they are balancing profit and purpose. Even their head office is fitted out with second hand furniture and is working towards eliminating plastic!
