People
Dibella's mission is to improve the livelihoods of small-scale, marginalised cotton farmers and textile workers. The factory is GOTS, Fairtrade and BSCI compliant. Dibella employs 420 workers, 97% of whom are women.
Dibella runs a number of social projects called 'sustainable development pillars', these have a particular focus on women and children. The first pillar invests in education; providing equipment and resources to local schools. The second focuses on hygiene; by providing medical care, check ups and training on personal hygiene, particularly for women. This pillar is very important to Dibella and hygiene procedures have been upgraded due to Covid-19. The third pillar gives training in sustainable farming techniques and the fourth focuses on female empowerment. This is done through providing additional training opportunities to the women who work in the factory.
KnowlegeCotton Apparel builds long term relationships with ethically certified factories. Their garments are GOTS certified which contains a robust social element that all manufacturers and processors throughout a products supply chain must meet.
Planet
Organic cotton helps farmers escape the health risks and financial burden of toxic chemicals involved in conventional cotton production. It also benefits wider communities by maintaining (rather than draining) the local water supply and keeping it clean.
KnowledgeCotton Apparel sources fabrics and raw materials from the same parts of the world as their clothes are cut and sewn. This lowers carbon emissions.

Areas for development
Becoming a Fair Wear Foundation member goes beyond auditing and gives brands an external framework to engage with social concerns on an even deeper level. That said, KnowlegeCotton Apparel’s GOTS certification is a robust social standard that covers the entire supply chain.
