Good Earth Cotton leads eco approach
G
ood Earth Cotton (GEC) has highlighted the importance of independently verified
environmental data as new EU rules raise the requirements for businesses making sustainability claims.
The European Union’s Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive (EmpCo) began applying from September 27, restricting generic environmental claims that cannot be substantiated by recognised environmental performance.
GEC said the changes reflect its approach to cotton production, which focuses on measurable environmental outcomes, primary farm-level data and independent verification, alongside physical verification of fibre at source.

businesses invest in reliable, productive equipment that enhances their capabilities.
“This shows Soyang’s commitment to continued investment in our hardware department.”
Danielle Statham, owner of GEC and FibreTrace, said: “For years, we used the language of regenerative agriculture because it helped describe the direction farming needed to take. But a practice is an intervention; an outcome is the evidence. “The next generation of fibre will not be defined by the practice it claims. It will be defined by what can be measured, independently verified and connected to the physical fibre itself.”
