CG Foundation

The CG Foundation Label

When you see the CG Foundation label on a product, it means the cotton was grown sustainably by a verified farmer following our rigorous standard.

Six Promises Behind Every Label

Verified Sustainability

Every labelled product is backed by a verified supply chain audit confirming certified cotton content.

Farmer Verified

Cotton grown by a registered CGF farmer trained in and verified against our sustainable cotton standard.

Environmental Integrity

Lower pesticide use, improved water management, soil health improvements and biodiversity protection — all verified.

Social Standards

Child labour and forced labour are prohibited. Women's rights and safe working conditions required of all certified farmers.

Living Income Progress

Enrolled farmers must demonstrate progress toward a living income benchmark — tracked season to season.

Climate Impact
