Environmental Data Tracking

Access verified data on key environmental metrics, empowering data-driven decisions and driving progress towards a future where all U.S. cotton is recognized as sustainably grown. We track progress against water use, land use, soil carbon, soil loss, emissions, and energy use, providing insights into the environmental impact of U.S. cotton production. This data helps with informed decision-making, as well as supporting corporate reporting and responsible brand and product marketing.

Responsible Cotton Production

The well-being of people and the environment are at the heart of U.S. cotton production. As both a food and fiber crop, U.S. Cotton is carefully regulated for safety and quality. The Trust Protocol builds upon this foundation to provide an additional layer of verification for responsible cotton production.
