Principles and Cross-Cutting Priorities

Our Principles and Criteria are structured around six Principles and the two Cross-cutting Priorities.

As compared to the previous version of the standard, version 3.0 of the P&C has been streamlined and requirements have been strengthened across all thematic areas to ensure they continue to deliver relevant sustainability impact at field-level. The P&C v.3.0 includes a strong focus on social impact, with new requirements around gender and livelihoods, and some major changes in the way we address Decent Work-related issues.

It continues to emphasise the importance of the sustainable use of Natural Resources and responsible Crop Protection measures, and it refers more explicitly to the adoption of measures related to climate action. The new Management principle will help build solid foundations for producers to thrive in all thematic areas, shifting the focus from practice adoption to tangible outcomes.

Ilkeler

Yönetim

Cotton farming households have strong integrated farm yönetim systems in place to ensure field-level sustainability impacts.

We support farming households in operating a well-informed, effective and inclusive management system that drives sustainability impact through continuous improvement and builds transparency and market trust. Good management includes ensuring that collaborative and inclusive approaches are centred, and that the two cross-cutting priorities gender equality and climate action are considered in all decision making.

Cotton farming communities promote regenerative practices, enhance biodiversity and use land and water responsibly

We support farmers in adopting key regenerative practices that improve their soil health, conserve and enhance biodiversity and natural ecosystems, and optimise the quality and availability of water. This is all while increasing crop yield, improving the resilience of farming communities to climate change, and helping mitigate the negative effects of farming on our climate. Together, these practices work to protect and improve the most vital resources to cotton farming communities.

We support farmers in understanding and implementing Integrated Pest Management approaches. This approach promotes practices to set plants off on a healthy start, promotes non-chemical pest control techniques, and ensures effective pest monitoring in order to reduce reliance on conventional pesticides. Better Cotton also helps farming households phase out the use of Highly Hazardous Pesticides, which pose great risks to both the environment and the health of farming communities. Better Cotton also builds awareness on responsible handling of pesticides.

Cotton farming communities care for and preserve lif kalitesi

We support farmers in adopting good practices from seed selection to harvest, storage and transport of their seed cotton to reduce man-made contamination and trash. This enhances the value of the cotton and leads to a better price for farmers.

These include working environments that address risks of child labour, forced labour, workplace harassment, violence and discrimination. This also covers ensuring the freedom to organise and negotiate dignified conditions of employment and providing access to grievance mechanisms and remediation. It includes fair pay and equal opportunities for learning and progression, as well as addressing occupational health and safety risks. All of which ultimately help to improve the livelihoods and wellbeing of farming communities.

We work with farmers, workers and their families, particularly women and youth, to address key challenges and help them lead a decent and happy life that is resilient to external shocks.

Cross-Cutting Priorities

Cotton farming communities build resilience to effects of climate change and support mitigating impacts of farming to the climate

We support farmers in identifying and implementing locally relevant practices and activities which help farming communities to build resilience for effects of climate change and/or mitigate its effects across the P&C.

History and Revision

At Better Cotton, we believe in continuous improvement at all levels of our work – including for ourselves.

In line with the ISEAL codes of good practices for voluntary standards, we periodically review our farm-level standard – the Better Cotton Principles and Criteria (P&C). This helps to ensure the requirements remain locally relevant, effective and up to date with innovative agricultural and social practices.

Better Cotton İlkeleri ve Kriterleri ilk olarak 2010 yılında Brezilya, Hindistan, Pakistan ve Batı ve Orta Afrika'daki Bölgesel Çalışma Grupları, Danışma Kurulu üyeleri, Better Cotton Ortakları (uzmanlar ve kritik arkadaşlar dahil) ve halkın katılımıyla geliştirildi.

The Principles and Criteria were first published in 2010  and were formally revised between 2015 and 2017, and again between October 2021 and February 2023.

En son revizyonun hedefleri, P&C'yi yeni odak alanları ve yaklaşımlarla (Better Cotton 2030 stratejisi dahil) yeniden düzenlemek, bunun saha düzeyinde sürdürülebilirlik etkisine yol açan sürekli iyileştirmeyi yönlendirmek ve zorlukları ele almak için etkili bir araç olarak kalmasını sağlamaktı. geçmişten alınan dersler.

The draft of the revised Principles and Criteria (P&C) v.3.0 received formal approval from the Better Cotton Council on February 7, 2023, and the new standard became effective for licensing starting in the 2024/25 season.

The next revision of the Principles and Criteria is planned for 2028.
