The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol®—a sustainable answer for the manufacturing industry

Cotswold’s membership in the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol ensures that the cotton fiber used is sustainably grown and has a lower environmental and social impact. The company takes every step possible to guarantee that the fabrics it produces are of the highest quality and provide the best protection available.

In response to the growing demand for supply chain transparency and social responsibility, the Trust Protocol provides brands, retailers, and the end user with the assurance that the cotton fiber in its fabrics is more sustainably grown.

Launched in 2020, the Trust Protocol was designed to set a new standard in sustainable cotton production where full transparency is a reality and continuous improvement to reduce our environmental footprint is the central goal.

It is the only system that provides quantifiable, verifiable goals and measurement and drives continuous improvement in six key sustainability metrics: land use, soil carbon, water management, soil loss, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency. It is also the world’s first sustainable cotton fiber program to offer article level supply chain transparency to all members.

Its core values focus on U.S. cotton’s legacy of authenticity, innovation, excellence, environmental stewardship, caring of people, and personal and corporate integrity with a Theory of Change that is grounded in science- based measurement and feedback.
