DENVER – The VF Foundation, the corporation’s philanthropic arm, has joined the Soil Health Institute’s US Regenerative Cotton Fund (USRCF) as a ‘sustaining supporter’.
Launched last year, the cotton fund is a farmer-facing, science-based initiative established to support long-term, sustainable cotton production in the United States, with the goal of eliminating one million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) from the atmosphere by 2026.
“This initiative complements our corporate efforts to advance regenerative agricultural practices by taking a farmer-centric approach to scale these practices and measure their impacts when growing cotton, a key material used by VF brands and across the apparel industry,” commented Gloria Schoch, executive director of the VF Foundation and director of global impact at VF Corp.
