Kathmandu Sustainability Report
Kathmandu increased their use of sustainable cotton from 38% to 59% in 2016 according to their 2016 Sustainability Report.
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental and social impacts of cotton in the clothing they wear, particularly as these issues come up in films like ‘The True Cost’.
Kathmandu’s goal is to phase out conventional cotton completely by 2020.
‘We care about promoting and protecting workers’ rights throughout our supply chain, and improving working conditions,’ says Textile R&D and Responsible Materials Manager Manu Rastogi.
‘We also care about sustainability and protecting the outdoor environment we love to play in.
As we use cotton in a range of our products, it’s important the cotton we use is environmentally–friendly and ethically produced.’
