Sustainable &
Traceable Cotton

The world's largest cotton sustainability programme, training farmers to use water efficiently, care for soil health, and promote decent work. Better Cotton accounts for over 20% of global cotton production. LCB facilitates sourcing and verification of Better Cotton certified supply.

RegenAGRI certification verifies regenerative farming practices that restore soil health, increase biodiversity, and sequester carbon. Cotton certified under this programme demonstrates measurable improvements in ecosystem outcomes beyond conventional sustainability metrics.

The worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria backed by independent certification. GOTS covers the entire supply chain from harvesting through manufacturing to labelling, ensuring full traceability.

The Organic Content Standard provides third-party verification that a final product contains the accurate amount of organically grown material. OCS tracks the flow of raw material from source to final product through chain of custody certification.

Fibertrace technology embeds invisible luminescent pigment markers directly into cotton fibre at the gin, enabling physical verification of origin throughout the supply chain. This provides unalterable proof of provenance that survives all processing stages.

The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol sets a new standard for more sustainably grown cotton with quantifiable, verifiable goals and measurement. Members commit to continuous improvement across six sustainability metrics including soil carbon, water management, and energy efficiency.
