All T-shirts in The Fairganic range are organic, the cotton is independently certified by Control Union. The T-shirts are also currently being audited against the new Global Organic Standard which is recognised by both the Institute for Marketecology and the Soil Association. Organic farming improves soil stability through crop rotation and improves natural biodiversity. It prevents pollution of the water table and the risk of pesticide poisoning. Fairganic T-shirts are GM free and coloured with dyes which contain no heavy metals.

Fairganic organic cotton is grown in Northern India by a farmers co-operative. The growers are paid a premium price for their cotton and there are ongoing positive projects to strengthen the infrastructure of their community. The supply chain is being formally audited against the new 'Global Organic Standard' in which various checks are carried out to ensure that the following criteria are fully met; No child labour is used, working conditions are safe and hygenic, working hours are not excessive, regular employment is provided and no discrimination takes place. Faiganic never buy our T-shirts from any source where we think the workers are being exploited or treated unethically. Fair enough?
