LONDON – Primark has announced plans to train 160,000 cotton farmers in China, India and Pakistan in more environmentally-friendly production methods by the end of 2022.
The project represents a five-fold expansion of its Sustainable Cotton Programme which is being extended into China – one of the world's biggest cotton producers - for the first time, as well as enrolling thousands more farmers in India and Pakistan.
Primark says the expansion marks an important part of its commitment to minimising its impact on the environment and bringing more sustainably-sourced cotton to customers at affordable prices.
