The textile value-added chain is long and often not very transparent, particularly when it comes to the initial production steps. That’s why, together with CmiA, CWS Workwear focuses on these very first stages, namely the farmers who grow and harvest the cotton.

CWS provides them with planning certainty, as CWS has not only made a long-term commitment to increase the share of Cotton made in Africa used in its workwear but has also agreed upon fixed purchase volumes.

Would you like to switch to fair workwear?

In the Pro Line industry and trade collection, cotton from the CmiA raw materials model guarantees that all items feel wonderfully soft against the skin. It is combined with polyester from recycled PET bottles and other industrial plastic waste to ensure that all garments are suitably robust and hard-wearing.
