Tanzania, India, Switzerland – three countries on three continents, all brought together in one company: Remei AG. Ever since it was founded, the Swiss pioneer for organic cotton textiles has been taking responsibility for the entire textile supply chain – from the seeds to the ecological production down to ready-to-sell textiles; with a fully transparent supply chain, complete CO2 offsetting and fair trading.
By taking over organic farming companies bioRe India Ltd. and bioRe Tanzania Ltd., the Swiss yarn and clothing producer is now going one step further: integrating the businesses into its own company means that Remei is creating a reliable and secure source of raw materials for cotton for itself and its trading partners, therefore paving the way for a fully transparent, sustainable textile production chain and fair trading relations. Everyone is moving closer together: from the organic farmers to the retailers and brands with their collections – they are all part of the system and are benefiting from the developments.
“Guaranteed access to a secure supply of organic cotton is becoming a key success factor for more and more companies. With the takeover of bioRe India and bioRe Tanzania, we can guarantee this in the long term. Integrating the businesses means that we have moved even closer together and the production chain has become shorter. Sustainability along the value chain is now more of a tangible reality: brands and retailers are becoming increasingly interested in it and taking advantage of the benefits it brings,” says Remei Co-CEO Marion Röttges.
