At Expert Brand, our commitment to sustainable apparel manufacturing doesn’t stop at the fabric. It extends to every stitch, every process, and every choice we make. That’s why we’re proud to say that Expert is SGS certified — a globally recognized mark of trust, quality, and sustainability in the apparel industry.

Who Is SGS?

SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) is the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company. With more than a century of experience, SGS helps businesses across industries — including clothing manufacturers, promotional product companies, and textile suppliers — ensure that their products and processes meet the highest standards for safety, compliance, and sustainability. Their tagline says it best: “When you need to be sure.”

From textiles and apparel to consumer goods, food, and healthcare, SGS is the benchmark organizations turn to when they want independent proof that what they deliver is safe, reliable, and responsibly made.

What Does SGS Certification Mean for Expert Brand?

For Expert Brand, SGS certification is more than a badge — it’s an independent validation of our values. Here’s what it represents:

• Quality Assurance in Apparel: Every garment we produce meets strict performance and durability standards, so screen printers, unions, and promotional marketers can trust the blank apparel they’re working with.
• Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Apparel: SGS audits and tests verify that our eco-conscious materials and ethical manufacturing practices align with global expectations for sustainable clothing.
• Credibility with Partners: For distributors, decorators, and promotional product companies, SGS certification is proof that we’re not just talking about ESG apparel principles — we’re living them.

• Global Benchmark for Sustainable Fashion: SGS is recognized worldwide. That means our certification isn’t just relevant in Los Angeles or the U.S. — it carries weight in every market where eco-friendly blank apparel is in demand.

Why It Matters

In the sustainable fashion industry, anyone can make claims about being “eco-friendly” or “responsible.” But without third-party validation, those claims fall flat. SGS certification ensures that when you choose Expert Brand, you’re choosing a partner whose sustainable apparel practices have been tested, verified, and certified by the world’s leader in compliance.

At the end of the day, being SGS certified means we’re holding ourselves accountable — not just to our customers, but to the planet and the people who make our work possible.
