The GOTS initiative is a stringent global standard for the entire post-harvest processing of cotton, from field to finished product. The certification, which is particularly important in these regions that are large production centers for both cotton and textiles, has been growing dramatically, up more than 67 percent in India, from 1,441 GOTS certified facilities in 2015 to 2,411 in 2019; 469 percent in Bangladesh, from 210 to 1,194, and 94 percent in Pakistan from 142 to 276 over the same period.
For comparison, in 2019 China had 48 GOTS certified facilities, Germany 565, Portugal 301 and the U.K. 75.
Here, Mumbai-based Kasekar speaks with Sourcing Journal about the immediate priorities in the region and some of the key issues ahead.

Finding solutions to address the climate emergency means
tackling the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions those coming from
the transportation, food and energy sectors.
We’re learning to make more
climate-friendly decisions about what we eat, how we power our homes and how we

into the atmosphere every year. The result is that, by some estimates, the life
cycle of textiles (including laundering) accounts for 6.7% of all global greenhouse gas emissions.
