MH Achieves BCI Certification Moving Towards a Sustainable Cotton Future

On May 14, Ningbo MH DRAWNWORK CO., LTD, also known as Mengheng Spinning, reached a major milestone in its sustainability efforts by successfully passing the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) factory audit. This achievement is a testament to MH's commitment to sustainable development and its dedication to responsible cotton sourcing and production.

By aligning with the BCI, the world’s largest sustainable cotton farming program, Mengheng Spinning not only bolsters its position in the global market, but also takes a significant step toward advancing the green transformation of the cotton industry.

Understanding BCI and Its Global Impact

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is a global movement designed to transform cotton production into a more sustainable and ethical industry. Its mission is simple, yet powerful—to make "Better Cotton" a mainstream global commodity by improving farming practices, decreasing environmental impact, and ensuring the well-being of workers.

With over 300 retailers and brands actively involved worldwide, BCI provides participating companies with the structure, standards, and resources to ensure that cotton production adheres to sustainable goals. It promotes efficiency, transparency, and traceability across every stage of the supply chain, from farms to finished products.

What Is "Physical BCI"?

Physical BCI plays an essential role in achieving full supply chain traceability. It requires companies to regulate and track the flow of Better Cotton from its source all the way to the final product. This system ensures that sustainability claims about the cotton used in products are valid and transparent.

Currently, certified producers can source Better Cotton from 13 countries, with plans to expand suppliers to include Australia, Brazil, and Israel during the 2025/26 cotton season. Companies participating in the Physical BCI initiative must adhere to stringent requirements, such as establishing a formal BCI management system, maintaining detailed production and sales documentation, and tracking platform data in real-time.

Through these measures, BCI not only monitors but also elevates the standards of sustainable cotton production around the globe.

The Significance of BCI Certification for MH

Mengheng Spinning’s achievement in passing the BCI audit symbolizes its unwavering dedication to sustainable development and ethical practices. This certification enhances MH's credibility as an innovator in the textile industry, paving the way for international partnerships in markets that prioritize sustainability.
