tracing

Traceability

We capture field specific data, including agricultural practices. Our platform integrates with tractor, water, soil and other sensors as well as satellite to track activities at the field level. We pull that data together and analyze it. We measure success at the field level. We do not take a mass balance approach. We certify each field individually ensuring buyers and consumers get the sustainable value add they pay for!

When a consumer scans a product package or tag, they connect with the farmers who grew the cotton. Consumers also see the farmer’s sustainability scorecard and other key information about the product.

Sustainability

Farmers put time, energy and science to work in order to achieve the required sustainability scores we need to certify our cotton. Each year is a process of continuous improvement. This work results in product that is better for the environment, for the consumer and better for the future.

Data is captured, tracked and measured. Sustainability scores are a result of a 25-Point Farm Smart scorecard kept for each field in the program. The scorecard results are visualized via our Augmented Reality experience when consumers scan a QR code on a package or tag.

Every acre of cotton meets our Sustainability benchmarks!

processing

Processing

From the time cotton is seeded to when it is harvested and leaves the field, we track and trace each lot. This cotton then makes its way into our certified processing facilities. Our cotton industry partnerships allow us to put additional dollars back into our farmer communities. Our farmers grow the cotton that is traced up to the retail shelf where consumers can scan the QR code to see who grew the cotton. Our end-to-end integration, third party certified process is what sets our platform apart from others.

packaging

Packaging

Each bale of cotton retains IP and is traced through the supply chain. We sell cotton upstream into the supply chain as a certified bale. We work with brands, retailers and merchants to provide consistent and uniform quality of bales. Our growers work with agri specialist to identify the right varieties to meet buyer expectations.
