Abstract: The certification and labelling of ’socially responsible products’ has been clearly attracting more and more interest in recent years. The systems and practical solutions developed in this field aim to make “ethical products” recognisable and generally available. This trend arises from growing consumer appreciation of not only the technical advantages, price, quality, delivery times and environmental safety of the products they buy but also of their social and ethical aspects. This article evaluates the importance of socio- and ecocertification and labelling for meeting buyers’ expectations of textile and clothing products. It also discusses consumers’ opinions on this matter.
