Kingly has announced it has been awarded Oeko-Tex STeP certification for sustainable sock production. This globally recognised accreditation marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to eco-friendly, socially responsible, and high-quality production practices.

“At Kingly, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of sustainability in the textile industry,” said Rob Armour, CEO of Kingly. “Achieving the Oeko-Tex STeP certification demonstrates our unwavering commitment to responsible production.

It ensures that the entire manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished products, adheres to strict sustainability criteria, including responsible chemical use, resource efficiency, and fair labour practices.

By choosing Kingly, customers are not only investing in premium-quality socks but also supporting a transparent and responsible production process that benefits both people and the planet, the company stresses.
