B&C is officially BCI certified.
At B&C, sustainability isn’t just a goal, it’s a responsibility. That’s why we’ve taken a major step forward – we are now officially Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) certified and sourcing Physical BCI Cotton for our products.
The steps to BCI Certification
- Map and verify the full supply chain
- Work only with certified production partners
- Prove physical segregation of cotton at every stage
- Undergo third-party audits and volume check
What’s different about BCI Cotton?
Most Better Cotton is sourced using a mass balance system, which supports better farming practices but doesn’t guarantee that the cotton in your t-shirt came from a certified farm.
Physical BCI Cotton changes that.
It’s traceable all the way from the country of origin to the finished products. It requires the cotton to be kept separate—and traceable—at every step of the supply chain, from the country of origin to the spinning mill to the final garment.
What it means for you and your customers
When a product is made with Physical BCI Cotton, it means that all of the cotton in that product has been grown by farmers who are certified to the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) Farm Standard. Physical BCI Cotton gives you verified, transparent sourcing across the cotton supply chain.
Verified sustainability
You can trust that the cotton in a product is made with Physical BCI Cotton certified to the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) Farm Standard.
Transparency
We can share real data about the country of origin of the cotton, giving you and your customers confidence.

SostenibilidadIf organic cotton is only 3%...what about the rest?
Organic Cotton is often seen as the gold standard in sustainable apparel, but here’s the reality: it makes up just 3% of global cotton production*. Converting a conventional farm to organic takes up to three years, often with reduced yields and higher risks for farmers. Even then, not all the in-conversion cotton finds a guaranteed buyer willing to pay a premium.
