      <image:title>Stories - CottonConnect and Assimila partners to address health issues caused by climate change among smallholder cotton growers in Bangladesh - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Farmers and cotton stakeholders in Bangladesh will use novel cotton mapping data products derived from Sentinel-2 images in a feasibility study run by CottonConnect and Assimila. Access to a wealth of climate and satellite data such as Sentinel-2 data is key to generating actionable information that will help farmers to make a step change in the way they manage their environment, including understanding and tackling the effects of climate change and safeguarding their health and wellbeing. Sentinel-2 images, like these from the Chuadanga district, Khulna Division in Bangladesh taken on 3 June this year, are offering a new perspective on land and vegetation. Assimila will use these images to derive up-to-date information cotton growing areas in Bangladesh that will be used to identify changes where, for example, extreme temperature or precipitation have had an effect. The true colour Sentinel-2 images uses bands which roughly correspond to red, green, and blue on the colour spectrum, and the result looks like the world as humans see it. The false-colour image allows humans to visualize wavelengths that the eye cannot see and are particularly useful to identify crops such as cotton and assess their current state. In this, healthy dense vegetation appears in bright green and bare soil in dark brown.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Code was further revised in 2021, to include: Recommendations from a survey conducted with farmers and implementing partners; a review of the Delta indicators for sustainable cotton (the set of environmental, social, and economic indicators used to measure sustainability across cotton); enhanced health and safety for gins; and region-specific customisations.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In the development of this Code, Biodiversify provided monitoring and reporting guidance for biodiversity. Plus, we worked with the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and the Carbon Trust to develop key performance indicators to measure impact on biodiversity, soil and water among Primark Sustainable Cotton Programme farmers in Gujarat, India. We also undertook a carbon footprint analysis with the Carbon Trust to assess greenhouse gas emissions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Sustainable Practices - Working with, and for, farmers</image:title>
      <image:caption>Published in May 2021, the Code was developed following field studies of linen farmers in France and spinning mills in China. A prototype code was piloted and reviewed with farmer co-operatives.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Make use of our dedicated supply chain specialists in key cotton origin markets who have a proven approach to mapping supply chains, identifying opportunities and mitigating risks for cotton fibre manufacturers and brands. To support you in understanding those difficult-to-track last mile journeys, we have developed a bespoke, proprietary traceability software tool known as TraceBale. It provides visibility on all farmer transactions, verifying farm production against ginner procurement.  You can even use our TraceBale ID data to integrate into your existing yarn ID system to give your customers a full view of the sustainable cotton supply chain.</image:caption>

We aim for decent working conditions, including no child labour and gender inclusion in all our programmes. We are committed to ensuring the labour rights of workers employed within our programmes and on the farms which are a part of its projects.

      <image:title>Social Impact - Committing to health and safety</image:title>
      <image:caption>Addressing labour concerns fosters supply chain transparency, particularly when adopting organic or more sustainable agriculture methods from field to fibre. Our Responsible Business for Gins Code of Conduct enhances ginning standards, a pivotal process linking farmers to spinners in the cotton supply chain. This vital mechanical separation of cotton bolls from seeds and stalks often goes unnoticed despite engaging tens of thousands seasonally, impacting ethical supply chains. Implementing our Code ensures Gins adopt top-notch sector-relevant standards and policies, fostering a hygienic workplace and upholding statutory rights for gin workers. Through our training we promote the use of personal protective equipment, safe working conditions and human rights, providing a better working environment for everybody.

      <image:title>Climate Action - Manage what you measure</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our climate action framework begins with accurate measurement, utilising data-driven insights into regenerative agriculture and embedding effective regenerative agriculture practices such as cover cropping and minimal tillage to help farmers reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding your climate impact is crucial for effective action, so we support farmers with carbon mapping and data tools that guide sustainable decisions on their farms. We use the Cool Farm Tool to quantify greenhouse gases and soil carbon sequestration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Climate Action - Respond to the biodiversity challenge</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our approach promotes regenerative agriculture to restore natural habitats and implements specific regenerative farming methods like intercropping and improved soil carbon capture to combat biodiversity decline and increase climate resilience. As butterfly, bird, and reptile populations diminish, many of our programmes encourage farmers to adopt regenerative farming methods that reverse this trend and help them adapt to changing climates. This includes intercropping and boosting soil health through carbon sequestration. Our Organic Cotton Farmer Training Programme encourages the use of bio-pesticides and bio-fertilisers which has helped to reduce input costs by more than 35%. See Our Impact for more information.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Climate Action - Adapt to changes already happening</image:title>
      <image:caption>By shifting to regenerative agriculture alongside broader sustainable farming approaches that prioritise soil vitality and water use efficiency, farmers strengthen their resilience and livelihoods. This transformation supports the cultivation of regenerative cotton, making supply chains more robust. Using regenerative cotton methods also lowers farm emissions and fosters climate-smart communities. While reducing emissions is vital, assisting farmers to adapt to ongoing climate shifts is equally important to secure their productivity and business sustainability long-term. Providing farmers with tools, knowledge, and insights to improve yields while conserving water or enhancing soil through bio-pesticides helps them build resilience despite climate uncertainties. Find out how we can help drive your climate action.</image:caption>
