Certification Training for Better Cotton Retailer and Brand Members

Joe Morphet on March 14, 2025

Join us for this two-hour training session on Brand Certification against CoC Standard v1.1. This session is specifically for brands looking to make product claims on Physical (Traceable) Better Cotton products and therefore seeking to go through the certification process.

The first part of the session will provide an overview of the audit process, covering key elements such as preparation for the audit, determining the scope of the assessment, and looking at how brands can apply the multi-site criteria. The second half will take a deep dive into the certification requirements, outlining the key policies, procedures, and systems needed to successfully complete the audit.

If you’re an RB Member attending one of our in-person events in April, please note that a similar session will be included in the agenda, so attending both is not necessary.

For those unable to join, the meeting recording will be available on the myBetterCotton portal. Feel free to invite relevant teams implicated in the chain of custody who would benefit from this session.

Updated Action Plan on Issues in Brazil’s Matopiba Region

Joe Morphet on March 12, 2025

In June 2024, Better Cotton published an action plan to address concerns about cotton production in Brazil’s Matopiba region.

This followed an April 2024 report by Earthsight that raised issues related to land use, deforestation, and community impact linked to Better Cotton licensed farms in the state of Bahia.

While none of the licensed farms breached our field-level standard, and there was no direct link between these farms and the reported issues, we recognised that Better Cotton can play an important role in addressing these issues. Since then, Better Cotton has driven targeted interventions across four key pillars to address these issues.

Join us six months on from our last update to learn more about our updated action plan and the progress made in the following areas:

  • Engaging local communities
  • Conducting due diligence at the agribusiness/large commercial farm level
  • Collaborating with a multistakeholder network
  • Realigning standards with ABRAPA

Register now to stay informed and be part of the conversation shaping the future of sustainable cotton in Brazil. We look forward to your participation.
