This company has signed the Cotton Pledge with the Responsible Sourcing Network, signifying a public commitment to not knowingly source Uzbek cotton for the manufacturing of any of their products until the Government of Uzbekistan ends the practice of forced labor in its cotton sector.

This company has also signed the Turkmenistan Cotton Pledge, where systemic use of forced labour in cotton production also occurs.
