Better Cotton Chain of Custody (CoC)
About the standard
Better Cotton is a not-for-profit organization that leads the global standards for more sustainable cotton production, connecting stakeholders across the cotton supply chain from farmers to retailers.
The Better Cotton Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard outlines the requirements for organizations buying or selling Traceable Better Cotton or cotton-containing products. To uphold product integrity, a robust monitoring and assessment system has been developed for all involved in the textile supply chain.
Control Union has played an important part in supporting the textile industry’s shift toward more sustainable practices. We offer BCI Chain of Custody (CoC) monitoring and assessment services across LATAM, EMEA, and APAC regions.
Why BCI CoC Monitoring and Assessment is Important
Traceability is a global demand nowadays for all manufacturing industries. Most of the Brands and Retailers make this provision mandatory to ensure supply chain integrity. Better Cotton traceability solution makes it possible to trace Better Cotton back to its country of origin. At the same time, traceability will also enable us to better direct investment to the field level to support farmers in driving sustainability improvements and increasing their yields. BCI CoC Monitoring and Assessment will ensure Better Cotton product integrity in the final product. Control Union is officially recognized and approved by the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) to carry out Chain of Custody (CoC) Monitoring and Assessment. The Better Cotton initiative is dedicated to improving global cotton production certification. Particularly for making it better for the farmers who grow it, more environmentally sustainable, and better for the long-term sustainability of the cotton industry. By developing Better Cotton as a mainstream sustainable commodity, the initiative supports responsible practices across the entire supply chain.
