Webinar: Phase Out of the Mass Balance On-Product Mark Claim

Joe Morphet on August 30, 2024

An Update for Retailer and Brand Members from the Claims Team:

As our Members will likely be aware, legislation governing green claims is requiring the industry to take stock and reflect on how ‘more sustainable’ is defined and how this can be communicated to consumers in a fair and consistent way.

As we move towards allowing a label for products containing Physical (Traceable) Better Cotton, we continue to closely monitor the evolving legislation and work to ensure that our claims offering demonstrates real value to our Members, whilst meeting legislative requirements and expectations of consumers. Informed by a member survey, a consumer research study and some one-on-one consultation with members, the decision has been made to begin to phase out the option to use the Better Cotton mass balance on-product mark in its current form.

This session will cover important information such as timelines, plans for a future label, and your Mass Balance sourcing.

Joe Morphet on August 22, 2024

The Large Farm Dialogue Series is an initiative to bring together selected partners working where cotton is grown in large fields, is highly mechanised, and/or relies on permanent hired labour. The objective is to foster knowledge sharing across partners and improve our support to growers. We look forward to interactive sessions where participants are able to share their experiences and learn from different perspectives.

This event will be held on Tuesday 24 September at 08:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC – it will take place in two time sessions to accommodate different time zones, but the content for both sessions will be the same.
