The Cotton Pledge

Updated: May 6, 2013

Company Pledge Against Forced Child and Adult Labor in Uzbek Cotton

 

We, the undersigned companies are working to ensure that forced child and adult labor does not find its way into our products. We are aware of reports documenting the systemic use of forced child or adult labor in the harvest of cotton in Uzbekistan. We are collaborating with a multi-stakeholder coalition to raise awareness of this very serious concern, and press for its elimination.

As a signatory to this pledge, we are stating our firm opposition to the use of forced child or adult labor in the harvest of Uzbek cotton. We commit to not knowingly source Uzbek cotton for the manufacturing of any of our products until the Government of Uzbekistan ends the practice of forced child or adult labor in its cotton sector. Until the elimination of this practice is independently verified by the International Labour Organization, we will maintain this pledge.

If your company or brand is interested in signing on to the pledge, please contact info@sourcingnetwork.org
