DUSSELDORF, Tyskland, June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Textile Exchange udnævner C&A som verdens største indkøber af økologisk bomuld.
  • I 2014 solgte C&A mere end 130 millioner produkter fremstillet af økologisk bomuld og arbejder på at øge dette yderligere.
  • C&A understøtter Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) - et initiativ af flere aktører med fokus på at opbygge et blomstrende økologisk bomuldsmarked, der gavner alle fra landmænd til forbrugere.

C&A fører i 2014 på Textile Exchanges økologiske bomulds rangordning "Top 10 Brugere på Volume". Resultaterne blev offentliggjort i sidste uge i det seneste Organic Cotton Market Report, og ifølge Textile Exchange, har C&A brugt mere end 46.000 tons certificeret økologisk bomuld i regnskabsåret 2014, mere end nogen anden forhandler globalt. I rapporten står også, at C&A blev femte i kategorien "Top Ti Brugere på Vækst".

"C&A's tilsagn om at drive meningsfuld forandring i økologisk bomuld er ubrudt," siger Liesl Truscott, europæiske & Farm Engagement direktør for Textile Exchange. I mange år har C&A spillet en vigtig brancheførende rolle for at fremme brugen af certificeret økologisk bomuld. Vigtigst af alt rækker virksomhedens engagement langt ud over blot at sælge det endelige produkt".

"At være verdens største indkøber af økologisk bomuld er et positivt signal om, at C&A's langsigtede bæredygtige indsats er på vej i den rigtige retning" siger Jeffrey Hogue, Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) fra C&A Global. "Siden 2004 har C&A forpligtet sig til at støtte udviklingen af økologisk bomuldsproduktion, og vi er fortsat på vej til at nå vores mål om at udvinde hele vores bomuldskollektion fra bæredygtige kilder i 2020."

Dyrkning af økologiske marked ved hjælp af stærke partnerskaber 

At videreudvikle økologisk bomuld, arbejder C&A sammen med C&A Foundation på at gennemføre forskellige sociale og miljømæssige programmer, der fremmer produktionen af økologisk bomuld og forbedrer eksistensgrundlaget for småbønder. Virksomheden er sammen med andre mærker og interessenter, herunder Cotton Connect, Textile Exchange og C&A Foundation en af grundlæggerne af Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA). Lanceret i 2014 er OCA en af flere aktører, der sigter mod at øge vedtagelsen af økologisk bomulds produktion og dens udbredelse. Ideen er at opbygge en velstående og elastisk økologisk bomuldssektor, der gavner alle fra landmand til forbruger. Det vil gøres ved at lave en fond, der åbner for finansiering til landmændene og forarbejdningsvirksomheder samt på samme tid at forbedre sporbarhed og gennemsigtighed i hele sektoren.

Bæredygtighed prioriteres højest 

C&A modtager i øjeblikket næsten 90% af sin økologiske bomuldsforsyning fra Indien. Med en global forsyning af økologisk bomuld er prognosen på kort sigt, at C&A udforsker nye muligheder for at købe økologisk bomuld fra leverandører i Kina, Pakistan og afrikansk.

"Fremskridt fortsætter, og C&A er urokkelig i sin forpligtelse til at styrke anvendelsen af organiske fibre og andre bæredygtige materialer og produkter," fortsætter Hogue. "Udforskning af nye udvindings markeder for at imødekomme disse behov er en prioritet. Vi tilstræber os at tilbyde holdbare produkter af høj kvalitet, lavet af organiske materialer, med gennemsigtige produktionsprocesser der beskytter naturressourcerne, og er sikre for mennesker, samt at tilfredsstille vores kunders behov. Parallelt hermed er vores forpligtelse til landmænd, der arbejder i denne sektor, også vigtig."

I dag udgør økologisk bomuld tæt på 40% af C&A's samlede bomuldssalg.
