Choosing our materials consciously
Going beyond certification
On our journey to source our cotton in the most responsible way possible, we go beyond GOTS certification to provide our customers with consistently high-quality organic cotton. In addition to diversifying our cotton sourcing to include two non-GMO countries – Turkey and Tanzania – we also map our supply chain for full transparency and take other initiatives to reinforce the traceability and organic integrity of our cotton, including:
Anil, Senior Organic Cotton Sourcing Specialist, Turkey
Gaurav, Global Cotton Sourcing Specialist, India
In-house expertise in cotton sourcing
To deepen our knowledge about the organic cotton industry, ensure we have the necessary in-house expertise in organic cotton purchasing, and be able to guarantee unrivalled quality and supply chain integrity, we now have two organic cotton sourcing specialists, one in India and one in Turkey.
Regular visits to farmers, ginners and spinners
samples tested for GMOs and pesticides ( 2023 ) 53
In 2023, our team visited partner spinning mills in India on several occasions. There, we also met with ginners and cotton farmers to better understand the realities and needs of suppliers further along our supply chain. We also visited ginners, spinning mills, and warehouses in Turkey to discuss organic cotton bale quality and organic integrity, and met with cotton farmers in Tanzania to further enhance our understanding of their activities and conditions in the country.
