The Code of Trust brings quantifiable and verifiable goals and measurements to responsible cotton farming and drives continuous improvement in key sustainability indicators in cotton production.“To meet the growing demand for environmental certification from brands and retailers, the U.S. Cotton Trust Code sets a new standard for sustainable cotton farming.” Mao Kailin, director of the China and Northeast Asia region of the American Cotton Association International, said.“Choosing Trust Code cotton will provide brands and retailers with assurance that the cotton fiber used in the product supply chain is sustainably grown with lower environmental and social risks.”Spinners, textile companies and brands and retailers can now enroll in the U.S. Cotton Trust, a new system for responsible cotton farming that will provide six sustainable Annual data on development areas. With these unprecedented year-over-year figures, brands and retailers will be better able to measure progress towards their sustainability commitments. In April, the U.S. Cotton Trust Code was named to Textile Exchange's list of preferred fibers and materials, one of 36 fibers and materials that can be selected by more than 170 brands and retailers participating in Textile Exchange's Material Change Index program. In May, Cotton Association International joined the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), and will use the alliance's sustainability assessment tool, the Higg Index, to drive environmental and social responsibility throughout the supply chain. According to a recent global survey conducted by the U.S. Cotton Trust Code, 54% of sustainability leaders at apparel and textile brands say their customers have demanded environmentally sustainable business practices and products since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Increase. Mao Kailin said,“The COVID-19 pandemic has sent economic shocks across supply chains, but the survey shows companies and their customers remain focused on sustainability. Systems like the Code of Trust will be more important than ever, giving brands access to the data they need to prove they are meeting science-based sustainability goals.”At the booth of the American International Cotton Association this year, a number of US cotton certified companies and brands were also displayed, including: Jiangsu Chunlan Textiles, Cone Denim, Jiangmen Daxing Knitters, H.W. Textiles, Yixing Lucky Textile, Qingdao Jerid Textile, SCHIESSER, Zhejiang Sunrise Textiles are rich in quality from the United States. cotton products, while keeping trade audiences informed of current market and consumer research results, as well as ongoing sourcing programs that match U.S. cotton buyers and suppliers throughout the supply chain.
