Standards we prepare farms for
We aren't a certification body. We prepare farmer groups, farms and supply chains for certification by accredited bodies, such as Control Union, which certifies much of Pakistan's organic and regenerative cotton. We work under these standards:
| Standard | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Organic (national and international organic regulations) | How crops are grown: no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, no GMOs, a conversion period before land counts as organic |
| GOTS: Global Organic Textile Standard | Textiles made with certified organic fibre, with environmental and social rules for processing |
| OCS: Organic Content Standard (Textile Exchange) | Tracks the amount of organic material through the supply chain to the final product |
| Better Cotton | A large programme for more sustainable cotton production. Not organic |
| GlobalG.A.P. | Farm assurance for good agricultural practice: food safety, traceability, environment and workers |
| Regenerative standards | Outcome-focused standards for soil health, biodiversity and water, such as Regenagri, the one most widely used for cotton in Pakistan |
