  • Part Iv Retailers and Brands
    BCI MEMBERS’ LIST – PART IV RETAILERS AND BRANDS Retailers and brands include any for-profit organisation selling goods or commodities directly to consumers. Pioneer adidas AG Member since: Jan 01 2010 As a pioneer member, the adidas Group has been involved with the Better Cotton Initiative from the very beginning. As part of its involvement, the adidas Group has committed to using 100% Sustainable Cotton in all its brands by 2018. To achieve this target, the adidas Group has set incremental annual targets for the quantity of ‘Better Cotton' that will be used: 5% by 2012; 40% by 2015; 100% Sustainable Cotton by 2018. Also, as a private partner of the Better Cotton Fast Track, the adidas Group is investing in the program and is therefore working with other leading brands and funders to help sustainable cotton production go mainstream. For more information about the adidas Group's continuing efforts, visit http://www.adidas-group.com/en/sustainability/welcome.aspx . Country: Germany Website: www.adidas-group.com Hennes & Mauritz AB Member since: Jan 01 2010 Cotton is the raw material H&M use the most. Our aim is for all cotton in our range to come from more sustainable sources by 2020 at the latest. Better Cotton, organic and recycled cotton are types of cotton that we see as the keys to achieving this target. Since 2010, we have been the biggest user of certified organic cotton worldwide, according to Textile Exchange's Global Market Report on Sustainable Textiles. Additionally, we will continue to increase the use of other conscious materials, like recycled polyester and wool.

  • Evaluation of Better Cotton Initiative Impacts in Andhra Pradesh, India Policy Brief
    NRI DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME POLICY BRIEF SUSTAINABLE TRADE AND RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS EVALUATION OF BETTER COTTON INITIATIVE IMPACTS IN ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA INSIGHTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STANDARDS ORGANISATIONS, RESEARCHERS AND POLICY MAKERS R. Kumar, V. Nelson, A. Martin, L. Narayanan, B. Suresh Reddy, D. Badal, A. Latheef and S. Young (2020). GUJARAT INSTITUTE OF CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH AND SOCIAL STUDIES LEARNING BRIEF KEY LESSONS z The impact study of a Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) project in Andhra Pradesh found that smallholder knowledge and understanding of Better Cotton practices as well as adoption of some areas of practice, have improved among farmers participating in the project, but inconsistent adoption remains a concern. z Some limited economic outcomes have been achieved, such as relatively lower increases in costs of production and slightly better yields, but cost savings are limited so far. Environmentally, pesticide use has been reduced, but optimal use of fertilizer has not improved, because farmers are still tied to input dealers who encourage continued usage. Alternative sourcing of inputs and finance through Producer Organisations has not materialised. z Interventions on decent work were initiated recently and therefore improvements were limited. Attention to gender issues, such as women’s participation in learning groups, has been weak. z The approach to extension had limitations: The inconsistency of adoption and weak environmental and economic performance outcomes align with academic research on farm decision-making. ‘Adoption’ thinking fails to recognize the reality of farmer decision-making processes, which are constrained and enabled by diverse factors, including a lack of economic incentives, but also the extension approaches involved and other socio-cultural factors shaping farmer responses.

UNIQLO appreciate your enquiry as we take matters of human rights and ethical responsibilities seriously. We have worked closely with the relevant sections of our business including our parent company Fast Retailing based in Japan to provide detailed responses to your questions, as follows: 1. What is the nature and extent of your company’s operations in Xinjiang? UNIQLO does not own or directly operate any factories as part of its business. Additionally, no UNIQLO product is manufactured in the Xinjiang region by any of our production partners, and none of our production partners subcontract to fabric mills or spinning mills in the region. 2. What specific raw materials arriving in UK markets are sourced from Xinjiang? UNIQLO sources sustainable cotton*1, and this includes cotton originating in China. By definition, sustainable cotton is that which ensures human rights and good working environments, in accordance with international standards. Sustainable cotton forbids the use of both forced labour and child labour at farms. *1 Sustainable cotton refers to Better Cotton*2 sources; cotton sourced from the United States or Australia, recycled cotton*3; organic cotton*4; Fair Trade cotton; and Cotton made in Africa (CmiA).

  • Ethical Trading Initiative Working Hours Clause Revision Interpretation
    Ethical Trading Initiative Working Hours Clause Revision Interpretation: What does it mean? 1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the interpretation of ETI Base Code clause 6 on working hours, the revised version of which came into effect on 1 April 2014. This is one of the most difficult of the provisions of the Base Code to interpret and is an area where there will often be national law, collective agreements and other relevant provisions to take into account. The primary aim of clause 6 of the Base Code is to ensure that workers do not work excessive hours; that workers have at least one day off per week; and that any overtime is voluntary and is properly compensated. The underlying principle behind this part of the Base Code is the preservation of workers’ health and workplace safety. Clause 6.1 clearly states that the primary benchmarks for working hours are national law, collective agreements and the standards set out in the provisions of 6.2 to 6.6 of the Base Code – whichever provides the greater protection for workers. It is therefore important to consider the appropriate standards set out in all of these when assessing workplace practices on working hours. The standards set out in 6.2 to 6.6 are based on a number of international labour standards, the most relevant ones of which are listed in Annex B. This guidance note explores the different components that clause 6 of the Base Code addresses, namely: o restrictions on normal working hours; o exceptional circumstances under which working hours may be excessive; o regulation of voluntary overtime; and o weekly rest periods.

  • Equivalence Document Reference GSCP, SA8000 & ETI Base Code
    Comparison of Codes: ETI Base Code; SA8000; GSCP Comparison of Codes: Reference ETI Base Code, SA8000 & GSCP SEDEX CODE COMPARISON – Introduction to the Codes ETI – Ethical Trade Initiative: The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is a ground-breaking alliance of companies, trade unions and voluntary organisations which promotes the implementation of corporate codes of practice which cover supply chain working conditions. Their ultimate goal is to ensure that the working conditions of workers producing for the UK market meet or exceed international labour standards. The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) produces guidelines aimed at the promotion and the improvement of ethical trade. The code of conduct has been elaborated in the UK by an alliance of companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and trade union organisations. It is composed of two key elements: the ETI Base Code and the accompanying Principles of Implementation. ETI has developed a code of labour practice - the 'Base Code' - reflecting the most relevant international standards with respect to labour practices which will be used as the basis of its work under the form of 9 statements. ETI member companies are expected to adopt the Base Code, or to adopt their own code so long as it incorporates the Base Code. The Base Code, which is accompanied by a set of general principles concerning implementation, provides a foundation for ETI's philosophy of learning. SA8000: SAI is a non-governmental, international, multi-stakeholder organization dedicated to improving workplaces and communities. It does this work with two principal types of tools; developing and implementing socially responsible standards, the first of which was SA8000; training and capacity building-- about specific standards and management systems for implementing social standards-- for workers, managers and auditors throughout the supply chain.
