People
Rajlakshmi Cotton Mills was founded in 1934 and have been pioneers in organic garment manufacturing. They work with almost exclusively organic and fair trade cotton. Rajlakshmi have build a reputation for high quality tailoring and respect for workers. The factory has a positive stance towards unions, with workers having the freedom to join any union they want. Workers also benefit from contributions to medical insurance and reimbursement for education fees for children up to university level.
The organic cotton is Fair-trade certified and sourced from Chetna Organic who work with marginalised farmers from Maharashtra, Odessa and Andhra Pradesh towards improving their livelihoods and making farming a sustainable occupation.
KCA have worked with their Indian manufacturing partners for 4-5 years, visiting the factories on a regular basis. In addition the factory where this T-Shirt was cut and sewn is GOTS certified and audited regularly by the Fair Wear Foundation.
Planet
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) aims to improve the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on. It’s a voluntary standard that requires all sites, from wool farms to the seller in the final business-to-business transaction, to be certified. RWS farmers and ranchers are evaluated against animal welfare, land management, and social requirements set in the standard.
Areas for development
GOTS living wage policy currently only requires that national legal standards are met. We'd love to see KCA collaborate with an organisation like the Fair Wear Foundation to advance the complex topic of a real living wage for garment workers.
