Tesco is one of the first retailers to follow the Environmental Justice Foundation’s advice and ban all Uzbek cotton from its clothing range, home ware range and corporate purchases.

As Uzbekistan is the world’s third largest exporter of cotton and Tesco is the world’s third largest retailer, we’re talking big-scale changes here. Tesco has also announced it’s going to get more transparent with regards to its clothing and textiles processes by implementing a system to check its cotton supply chains.
