On the organic side, we connect you with GOTS certified companies in India, so your cotton, trims, and wet-processing meet strict Australian organic standards from fibre to finished garment.

Certifications Our Partner Factories in India Hold

The Synerg works with a mixed network of factories in and around Tirupur – some are fully audited and certified, while others are reliable production units without formal certifications but with strong day-to-day practices.

For more cost-sensitive, basic programs, we may recommend non-audited factories that still maintain consistent quality and delivery but don’t carry global certificates.

Our role is to be transparent about which orders go to certified factories and which go to non-certified units, so you can balance compliance, price, and product category in a way that matches your brand’s sourcing strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you support our Modern Slavery Act reporting?

Yes. We provide supply-chain visibility down to Tier 2 fabric and Tier 3 yarn, so an Australian entity can submit a credible Modern Slavery Statement. The reporting obligation is yours to file, but the audit trail behind it is what we supply.

Are your factories GOTS and Sedex certified?

Our partner factories in India hold the certifications. We work through GOTS certified and Sedex (SMETA 4-Pillar) audited partner factories, and the certificates and audit reports are issued in the factories’ names, which is what your retailer’s compliance team verifies.

Which audit format do Australian retailers prefer?

Sedex SMETA 4-Pillar is the audit format major Australian retailers prefer, and it is the primary standard our partner factories are audited to, covering labour, health and safety, environment and business ethics.

Do you offer organic and recycled fabrics?

Yes. We produce in GOTS organic cotton and offer recycled fabric options through our certified partner factories, so an Australian brand making a sustainability claim has the certification chain to support it.

Do you handle Australian GST and duty?

Yes. We ship DDP to Sydney and Melbourne with GST, duty and Australian Border Force clearance handled, so an Australian brand receives goods fully cleared with nothing further to pay.

What is your MOQ for ethical production?

Our minimum is 300 pieces per colour per style, which suits Australian brands building an ethical, certified range without the very large commitments some overseas factories require.
