Trust Protocol membership will bolster Macy’s efforts in sourcing cotton sustainably, driving positive social and environmental change within the cotton industry and enhancing transparency throughout its supply chain.

Macy’s, Inc. has taken significant steps towards embedding sustainability into its business through its social purpose platform, Mission Every One, which aims to help create a more equitable and sustainable future for all. Notably, in 2022, Macy’s, Inc. released its private brand cotton policy, pledging to source 100% preferred materials in Macy’s private brands products managed by the Macy’s sourcing team by 2030. This commitment now includes sourcing U.S. Cotton and Protocol Cotton, which is grown and harvested on Trust Protocol growers’ farms and recorded in the Protocol Consumption Management Solution – which tracks cotton through the supply chain, ensuring transparency and accountability.

“Through our social purpose platform, Mission Every One, our business is aligned with a framework that aims to create a more equitable and sustainable future for our people, communities and planet. This work has fueled our commitments and we are embedding sustainability across our global value chain, focused on caring for people and managing our environmental impact.” said Keelin Evans, VP Sustainability, Macy’s Inc. “In 2022 we released our private brand cotton policy and we’re already making great progress. We expect that more than half of cotton products within our private brand products managed by the Macy’s sourcing team will be sustainably sourced by the end of 2023. Our Trust Protocol membership will support and accelerate these efforts to meet our 2030 ambitions by helping us to better trace our supply chain and demonstrate the progress we’re making toward meeting our environmental targets.”
