Impact Targets

Better Cotton’s five Impact Targets underpin the organisation’s 2030 Strategy and map out how we will measure and communicate progress as we drive transformational changes at the field level.

Born out of years of consultation with our partners and experts, each target has its own specific goals which we aim to reach by 2030, along with indicators and methods of data collection. And while unique in their proposed impact, the targets all feed into one another to create an integrated blueprint for a better future.

Climate change mitigation

Climate change mitigation

Target: By 2030, reduce greenhouse gas emissions per tonne of Better Cotton lint produced by 50% from the 2017 baseline.

Sustainable livelihoods

Target: By 2030, sustainably increase the net income and resilience of two million cotton farmers and workers.

Soil health

Soil health

Target: By 2030, ensure 100% of Better Cotton farmers have improved the health of their soil.

Women's empowerment

Women's empowerment

Target: By 2030, reach one million women in cotton with programmes and resources that promote equal farm decision-making, build climate resilience, or support improved livelihoods. And ensure 25% of field staff are women with the power to influence sustainable cotton production.

Pesticide use

Pesticide use

Target: By 2030, reduce the use and risk of synthetic pesticides applied by Better Cotton farmers and workers by at least 50%.
