Look behind your shirt
Strong points
Fairly traded organic cotton

CO2 Savings
Suppliers
Organic cotton: Chetna Organic, India (Fair-trade certified)
Shirt: Cut and sewn in India by Sustainably crafted clothing PVT Ltd (GOTS, Fair Trade USA™ certified)
People
The organic cotton is fairly traded and sourced from Chetna Organic who work with marginalised farmers from Maharashtra, Odessa and Andhra Pradesh towards improving their livelihoods and making farming a sustainable occupation.
To ensure social responsibility, KCA establishes long term relationships with carefully selected suppliers. In addition to KCA’s own supplier visits, they rely on third-party certification. Social compliance is a part of GOTS that each production step in the supply chain must comply with. This gives KCA the opportunity to ensure that social standards are met throughout their supply chain and not only with their direct supplier.
In addition to GOTS, KCA seeks out suppliers that have been third-party certified by SA8000, BSCI and Fairtrade.
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. Knowledge Cotton Apparel's second and third tier suppliers (fabrics and raw materials) are based in the same geographical region as products are cut and sewn. This reduces the carbon footprint of their products compared to other fashion supply chains where inputs often cross back and forth around the world.
Areas for development
GOTS living wage policy currently only requires that national legal standards are met. KCA could collaborate with an organisation like the Fair Wear Foundation to advance the complex topic of a real living wage for garment workers.
