Fairtrade Spotlight
We’re proud that in 2023 almost 30% of the cotton we sourced was Fairtrade Organic certified. Through the certification, we are directly contributing to the Fairtrade system and the development of programs that benefit producers.
Our Fairtrade cotton comes from the Pratibha Vasudha cooperative in Madhya Pradesh, India. In the five years we’ve been partnering with Fairtrade, the producers from Pratibha Vasudha have invested their Fairtrade Premium in building schools in their local communities, supporting the enrollment and education of cotton workers' children. They are also working on water conservation projects, promoting agroforestry, and reducing the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
