Sustainable Sourcing
Definition
The practice of selecting raw materials and suppliers based on environmental and social criteria alongside cost and quality. Sustainable sourcing encompasses choosing organic or recycled fibres, working with certified mills, minimising transport distances, ensuring fair labour conditions, and reducing chemical use. White Cotton prioritises European fabric mills with environmental certifications, keeping our supply chain short, transparent, and auditable.
