Interloop always endeavors to build a sustainable world through positive change for its stakeholders which also includes supplying sustainable textile Apparel to our customers, by utilizing sustainable raw materials and manufacturing processes.
Pursuing this cause, Interloop has joined the Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA), following our commitment to develop a viable supply chain of sustainable raw materials including organic cotton. By joining OCA’s global platform, Interloop hopes to establish a consistent supply of organic cotton to produce sustainable products and make a contribution towards a greener planet at one end, whilst also making a positive social impact by educating farmers about organic farming techniques and supporting their health needs, especially female cotton pickers.
Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) is a multi-stakeholder organization fully dedicated to organic cotton. As a global platform, OCA is committed to bringing integrity, supply security and measurable social and environmental impact to organic cotton. OCA envisions a future where every time a farmer switches to organic cotton, there is a ripple effect of positivity; farmers earn more, their families and communities flourish, and their land and soils get fertile for future generations.
OCA welcomed Interloop to its global platform during an engagement call and appreciated our strong commitment to bringing greater sustainability to raw material sourcing as a means of bringing positive change to the planet, and the society at large. Commenting on Interloop joining this great initiative, Humayun Khan, Head of Corporate Communication Interloop Limited said, “We are a business for purpose with people, the planet and progress at the core of our business strategy. We are passionate about the products we make, while being responsible stewards of the resources we use. Almost 50% of our raw materials are derived from sustainable sources and we have increased the use of organic cotton by around 400% since 2016. Social responsibility and sustainability are embedded in our corporate culture and we are integrating this approach through our supply chain. By joining OCA as a Contributor, we expect to develop a viable and consistent supply chain of organic cotton and support farmers improve their livelihoods”.
