Carhartt, renowned for its workwear and outdoor apparel, has made the decision to join the Trust Protocol in order to enhance its responsible sourcing of cotton. This strategic move allows Carhartt to fully trace the US cotton used in its products, thereby improving transparency and gaining valuable insights into its supply chain. With a focus on durability and quality, Carhartt’s Director of Sustainability, Gretchen R. Valade, expressed the company’s commitment to exploring responsibly sourced materials for a better future.
Through its membership in the Trust Protocol, Carhartt is aligning itself with various sustainable cotton initiatives such as Cascale, Cotton 2040, and the Sustainable Cotton Challenge. The Trust Protocol has also gained recognition from organizations like the Forum for the Future, Textile Exchange, and the German Federal Government for its role in promoting sustainable practices within the cotton industry. By partnering with the Trust Protocol, Carhartt is taking a significant step towards fulfilling its mission of providing long-lasting gear while contributing to a more sustainable future for generations to come.
