BCI welcomes new guide to sourcing more sustainable cotton
29/06/2018
At the conference, which took place in Brussels from June 26-28, they said CottonUp would equip retailers and brands with the information they need to increase the volumes of more sustainable cotton that they source.
They said that sourcing more sustainable cotton is essential to reducing the commodity’s negative impacts and ensuring future supply. However, they acknowledged that researching the best available sourcing options is often resource-intensive.
The CottonUP guide shares direct experiences and learning from companies that have already navigated “the complex challenges of sourcing more sustainable cotton”, they explained, across multiple standards such as organic, Fairtrade, the Better Cotton Initiative and others.
