Swedish fashion brand Lindex teams with CottonConnect to train women workers

Lindex has teamed up with CottonConnect to train women, especially from Indian tribal regions, on how to shift from conventional farming to organic farming. These women are cotton farmers. They will be educated about organic farming, health, business management and labor rights.

Lindex is a Sweden-based fashion chain. As one of world’s largest buyers of organic cotton, it is working to further increase the supply of organic cotton, while simultaneously continuing the important work of strengthening women. Lindex has production offices in Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Myanmar and Turkey. These work in close collaboration with design and buying in the development and production of the collections. They also work closely together with Lindex’s suppliers to make sure that the styles that end up in store and online meet the standards when it comes to quality, fit and sustainability. CottonConnect, based in the UK, works on building sustainable supply chains teaching sustainable agriculture practices and developing skills of women in countries where organic supply chains start.

CottonConnect’s partnership with Lindex seeks to transform the organic cotton sector not only by increasing the volumes of organic cotton, and by working with women who are often neglected in training programs, but also by creating a direct link between the farm community and the brand.
