Why become a partner?
Do regulations keep you awake at night? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We build responsible supply chains and use state-of-the-art technology to guarantee unprecedented transparency and traceability for our partners.
Your business matters, and so does transparency!
The Hard Identity Preserved (HIP) Chain of Custody (CoC) model ensures full, uninterrupted transparency and traceability of RCS-verified cotton—from the RCS cotton producer all the way to the RCS-labelled finished product. Products labelled with the RCS logo demonstrate that the requirements of the HIP CoC model and the AbTF Transparency Standard were successfully and properly implemented during production.
