Sourcery Adds 10 Indian Textile Mills To Its Programme
Sourcery has added ten Indian spinning as well as vertically integrated textile mills, in to manufacture of yarn, apparel, denim and home textiles into its Direct-to-Grower programme as provisional partners.
These partners include Markwell Spinning, Thiagarajar Mills, RSB Cottex, Leaspin Textiles, Sustainable Spinning & Commodities, L.S. Spinning Mills, SA Aanandan Mill, Bio Spun and Bio Spinning.
According to Sourcery, one additional textile mill has chosen to remain confidential.
These mills have been selected out of over 100 applicants based on their commitment to quality, transparency, fairness and efficiency in trade.
These new partners, with a spinning capacity of over 400,000 spindles, have made minimum volume commitments on fibre to Sourcery’s Grower Partners.
These commitments include transforming trade for good and driving demand in the market with Direct-to-Grower partners throughout the entire cotton value chain.
“One of the primary benefits of joining the Direct-to-Grower programme as a provisional partner is that Sourcery’s commercial teams worldwide drive demand to these partners on yarn and fabric sales,” Sourcery said.
“These sales are done without charging a commission fee while also supporting them with securing their fibre from our grower partners in a more transparent, fair and efficient manner,” it added.
This helps sell products with the quality, integrity, traceability and verified impact at the farm level that is required by brands and retailers to ensure compliance to new trade and ‘greenwashing’ legislation in the US, UK and EU.
“Through the Direct-to-Grower programme, these provisional partners are already receiving inquiries on yarn and fabric from Sourcery’s brand, manufacturing and trade partners around the world,” it stated.
