IDM Trade & Trace B.V. provides independent, in-depth audits and compliance reviews to ensure your textile operations meet international sustainability, quality, and social-responsibility standards.

Comprehensive Scope

• Pre-Certification Audits: Full internal audits benchmarked against GOTS, Textile Exchange (GRS/RCS/OCS), Better Cotton, and ISO 9001/14001/45001 requirements.
• Operational Compliance Checks: Verification of chain-of-custody records, chemical management logs, worker safety protocols, and environmental KPIs such as water and energy usage.
• Supplier & Sub-contractor Assessments: On-site inspections and remote document reviews to confirm that upstream partners also meet certification and brand-specific codes of conduct.

Our Methodology
 We create a tailored audit plan, interview key staff, review documentation, and test data integrity. Findings are delivered in a clear CAPA (Corrective Action & Preventive Action) report with prioritized recommendations and timelines.

Example in Action
 For a vertically integrated mill in Denizli, Türkiye, IDM conducted a combined GOTS & Better Cotton pre-audit. We identified gaps in chemical storage, trained the EHS team on ISO 45001 requirements, and set up a digital corrective-action tracker. The factory achieved full certification at its first official audit, cutting remediation costs by 25 %.

With IDM’s Audit & Compliance Review, you gain not only a detailed assessment of current practices but also a roadmap for continuous improvement, helping you stay ahead of regulatory changes, buyer expectations, and market demands.
