Organic Basics is a Copenhagen-based sustainable apparel brand founded in 2015 that uses primarily organic cotton and recycled materials, with over 75% plant-based fabrics in their collections. The brand publishes detailed environmental data showing an average product carbon footprint of 3.48 kgCO2e and offsets 100% of emissions; however, they missed their 2025 carbon intensity reduction target due to rapid growth and measurement scope changes. On labor practices, at least 50% of factories certify living wages and provide benefits like meals and childcare, though not all suppliers demonstrate equivalent protections across their supply chain.

Reports and allegations from named sources, linked so you can read them yourself. Being listed here doesn’t mean a claim is proven.
In 2022, Organic Basics was acquired by Delta Galil Industries, an Israeli multinational manufacturer. Eco-Stylist revoked the brand's certification citing Delta Galil's listing by the UN for profiting from illegal occupation and allegations of labor rights violations within its subsidiaries.
Organic Basics failed to meet its original 2025 target to reduce carbon intensity by 50% from 2020 baseline. The brand acknowledged setting an ambitious goal without creating a clear reduction strategy and made measurement scope changes that complicated comparisons.
