adidas AG
Member since: Jan 01 2010
As a pioneer member, the adidas Group has been involved with the
Better Cotton Initiative from the very beginning. As part of its
involvement, the adidas Group has committed to using 100%
Sustainable Cotton in all its brands by 2018.
To achieve this target, the adidas Group has set incremental annual
targets for the quantity of ‘Better Cotton' that will be used: 5% by
2012; 40% by 2015; 100% Sustainable Cotton by 2018.
Also, as a private partner of the Better Cotton Fast Track, the adidas
Group is investing in the program and is therefore working with other
leading brands and funders to help sustainable cotton production go
mainstream.

Hennes & Mauritz AB
Member since: Jan 01 2010
Cotton is the raw material H&M use the most. Our aim is for all
cotton in our range to come from more sustainable sources by 2020
at the latest. Better Cotton, organic and recycled cotton are types of
cotton that we see as the keys to achieving this target. Since 2010,
we have been the biggest user of certified organic cotton worldwide,
according to Textile Exchange's Global Market Report on
Sustainable Textiles. Additionally, we will continue to increase the
use of other conscious materials, like recycled polyester and wool.
H&M has been actively involved in the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI)
since its inception in 2004, and are also an elected member of the
organisation's council. We regard the BCI as the key initiative to help
us reach our goal of sourcing all cotton in our range from
sustainable sources by 2020.

Ikea Supply AG
Member since: Jan 01 2010
Cotton is one of our most important materials. It's in some of our
best-loved products – from sofas, to cushions and bed sheets. We
know that conventional cotton farming can be harmful for the
environment and the people who grow it, so we wanted to do
something about it. That's why we are a founding member of the
BCI.
IKEA is working to make cotton-farming better for people and the
planet. Change is already happening on farms, in our product range
and across the cotton industry. Today, 69% of the cotton we use is
Better Cotton and we're aiming for 100% by 2015.
Improving cotton is part of our People & Planet Positive
sustainability strategy, which includes ambitious targets for
transforming our business and beyond, including sourcing more
sustainable raw materials. We're also improving the lives of people
in cotton growing communities through the IKEA Foundation, the
philanthropic arm of IKEA Group, helping to raise awareness of the
importance of education, investing in improving schools and health
facilities.

Marks and Spencer plc
Member since: Jan 01 2010
Cotton plays an important part of Marks & Spencer's eco and ethical
programme, Plan A. When sourced in a responsible way, it can be a
very beneficial crop for farmers and their communities. Through Plan
A we continue to significantly increase the amount of responsibly
sourced cotton used in our products, whether that cotton is
Fairtrade, Organic, recycled or farmed to BCI standards. We are
founder members of the Better Cotton Initiative and have supported
the development BCI projects across the world. We directly fund our
own cotton project in India which has demonstrated the success that
BCI can have in changing the cotton industry forever. To learn more
