Cotton Sourcing Programs

Next Level Apparel has joined the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol as a brand and retailer member, strengthening its focus on environmentally responsible cotton sourcing. The program is designed to promote more sustainable cotton production by setting measurable environmental benchmarks and increasing transparency throughout the supply chain.

Through its participation, Next Level Apparel’s cotton sourcing is evaluated using standardized environmental metrics, including soil health, water-use efficiency, nutrient management, and greenhouse gas emissions. These indicators support reduced environmental impact and encourage continuous improvement in agricultural practices.

The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol also provides a digitally enabled tracking system that delivers verified visibility from cotton fiber to finished apparel. This traceability allows for greater accountability and data-driven decision-making related to material sourcing. Overall, the membership reflects Next Level Apparel’s efforts to support environmentally improved farming practices and align its apparel production with long-term sustainability and environmental stewardship objectives across its supply chain.
