Fair Trade Certified: Boll & Branch

Boll & Branch is a company that was newly developed in 2014 with high quality products that are for bedding, bath and home. They make sure that they have products that are made from all natural cotton that is handpicked by women in India. Boll & Branch wanted to be a part of the Fair Trade program since they first began and always strives to make an end to child labor and equal pay for people in underdeveloped countries. They are a part of a supply chain in their business which helps them free their name from being involved in forced and child labor.

Not only do they want to make a change with the workers, but they also care about the consumer. Currently, we are in a trend that focuses on being more organic and all natural while tending for our bodies. Boll & Branch has stated, “Conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides and pesticides than any other crop in the world, using about 16% of the world’s pesticides.” This means that all of our bedding that we sleep on at home is chemically treated. This makes it a better reason to invest in pure, non-GMO products that is beneficial for you as well as the environment.

A company like Boll & Branch is supporting a fight that is going to make a change and benefit everyone that is involved. It does not hurt to support a company that wants the best for everyone.
