“The Better Cotton Claims Framework is one of six components of the Better Cotton Standard System and equips members to make credible and positive claims about Better Cotton. The framework is an important tool that supports BCI’s efforts to drive demand by building market awareness of the production of Better Cotton in partnership with BCI members.div style=”font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;”>”.div style=”font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;”>”“We recognise that the need for members to communicate about sustainability is growing and evolving and that the framework must evolve in parallel with growing market and consumer demands. We must also give members the guidance they need to report on their achievements in a way that is credible and transparent, said BCI in a press release.div style=”font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;”>”.div style=”font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;”>”“In addition to new impact claims, the BCI on-product mark – one-way retailer and brand members can communicate directly to their customers – now references mass balance directly in the required BCI logo, and customers must be able to easily access information explaining that Better Cotton is not physically traceable to end products. It is important that customers wanting to know more about a member’s sustainability claims and about BCI should have access to more detailed information.div style=”font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;”>”.div style=”font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium;”>”115 retailer and brand members are currently communicating with their customers about Better Cotton, 76 of whom have set public targets to source a percentage of their cotton more sustainably, a requirement to use the on-product mark.
