Expansion for US Cotton Trust Protocol
22/09/2023
The company operates more than 700 store locations including Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury.
In 2022, Macy’s published its cotton policy, pledging to source 100% preferred materials in its private brands and products managed by the Macy’s sourcing team by 2030.
This commitment now includes sourcing US Cotton and Protocol Cotton, which is grown and harvested on Trust Protocol growers’ farms and recorded in the Protocol Consumption Management Solution, which tracks cotton through the supply chain.
Keelin Evans, VP of sustainability at Macy’s said: “We expect that more than half of cotton products within our private brand products managed by the Macy’s sourcing team will be sustainably sourced by the end of 2023. Our Trust Protocol membership will support and accelerate these efforts to meet our 2030 ambitions by helping us to better trace our supply chain and demonstrate the progress we’re making toward meeting our environmental targets.”
The Trust Protocol combines quantifiable goals with continuous improvement in six key sustainability metrics: land use, soil carbon, water management, soil loss, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency.
