Fairtrade Spotlight
We’re proud that in 2024 nearly 27% 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 seven years we’ve been partnering with Fairtrade, the producers from Pratibha Vasudha have invested their Fairtrade Premium in building schools in their local communities, helping keep the children of cotton farmers in school. They are also working on water conservation projects, promoting agroforestry, and reducing the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
