We are the only sock-knitting company to hold this distinction
Kingly is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis* Platinum Medal, placing it in the top 1% of businesses assessed by EcoVadis worldwide. Moreover, we are the world’s first sock-knitting company** to hold this distinction—a clear indication that we are setting the Gold Standard for Sustainability when it comes to environmental, social, and ethical responsibility. This achievement affirms our commitment to creating a future that reflects these values.
Why the EcoVadis Platinum Medal Matters
EcoVadis is a globally respected platform that evaluates companies across four critical areas: environmental performance, labor practices, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Receiving the Platinum Medal confirms Kingly’s excellence across these pillars, underscoring our commitment to responsible, transparent business practices and providing an independent, comprehensive analysis that assures clients of our sustainable integrity.
The Certifications that Support Our Commitment
Kingly’s EcoVadis Platinum Medal is reinforced by an extensive range of globally recognized certifications that underscore our commitment to rigorous sustainability standards. Kingly’s intelligent validation system*** offers a unique QR code feature that gives clients real-time access to key metrics for our best-selling products across four sustainability pillars—planet, people, transparency, and circularity. These sustainability reports trace the product’s entire journey from origin to completion. From BCome’s Cradle-to-Gate impact measurement to OEKO-TEX® STeP Level 3, which ensures responsible chemical management, social responsibility, and workplace safety, our certifications validate every step of our process.
The ISO Management Systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) confirm our adherence to quality, environmental responsibility, and occupational health standards, while the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) guarantees our organic cotton products meet strict ecological criteria, supporting biodiversity and excluding harmful chemicals. Additionally, the Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certifies recycled content in our materials, minimizing virgin resource use, and SMETA Pillar 4 ensures compliance with ethical labor practices.
