SUSTAINABLE (e3) COTTON

SUSTAINABLE (e3) COTTON

After 12 years of development, the e3 cotton seed consumes less water, has a lower impact on the soil, requires less energy to produce, and supports and invests in US Farmers in the process.

Environmentally Conscious: The only cotton supply that tracks environmental outcomes back to each cotton field.

Farm-to-Retailer Traceable: The only conventional cotton supply that can deliver item-level sustainability promises.

Third-Party Verified: A cotton supply vetted by independent auditors, Wakefield Inspections and STEP, allows our farmers to focus on producing the highest yielding cotton with the most sustainable practices in the farming industry. Through our digital platform, MyFarms, e3 sustainable cotton information is converted using tools managed by independent scientists into multiple different sustainability measures including: Soil Conservation & Fertility Management, Irrigation Water Use, Water Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Energy Use & Conservation, Pesticide Management & Usage, Identity Preservation, Worker Health & Safety Soil Carbon and Biodiversity.

THE SUSTAINABLE COTTON FUND

Unlike the current Cotton Counsels which charges farmers additional fees per year for marketing the “cotton” brand, BASF and e3 have chosen to put money directly back into the farmers hands. e3 cotton provides a “give -back’ for each bale of e3, sustainable cotton that is harvested.

• In 2019: Over $1.5M back in the hands of US farmers.

• In 2020: On track to exceed over $3M.

e3 is better for the land, better for the farmers and better for the consumer.
