MANGO has set itself the target that 50% of the cotton it sources will be of sustainable origin by 2022

The third MANGO Committed collection is launched as part of the Take Action programme, which aims to increase the use of sustainable fabrics and contribute to a circular economy model.

MANGO continues to move forward with its commitment to source more sustainable fibres. As part of the Take Action programme, MANGO has set itself the target that 50% of the cotton it sources will be of sustainable origin by 2022.

In line with this goal, MANGO is joining the Better Cotton Initiative in order to strengthen its commitment to increase the volume of more sustainable cotton it sources. By joining this initiative, MANGO undertakes to support good practices within the cotton sector and to promote the procurement of more sustainably-grown cotton.

The goal of the Better Cotton Initiative is to transform the global production of cotton, based on the three pillars of sustainability: the environmental, social and economic aspects, and to succeed in making Better Cotton a mainstream commodity.

Through the Better Cotton Initiative and its partners, farmers receive training on how to use water efficiently, care for the health of the soil and natural habitats, reduce use of the most harmful chemicals and apply decent work principles. Better Cotton Initiative Farmers implementing this system are licensed to sell Better Cotton.

More than 15 million cotton farmers in 23 countries are growing Better Cotton.
