Calthwaite Primary School

Koolskools Fairtrade Cotton School uniform range is made under the principles of Fairtrade, and in factories that have signed up to the Koolskools Ethical pledge.

We personally visit our Fairtrade cotton farming co-operatives and factories to hear from everyone involved in our ethical supply chain. The assurances that we duly receive come from the cotton farmers and factory workers themselves.

From 2019, all the polyester in the Koolskools Fairtrade core range garments will be recycled from human resource waste (plastic bottles etc).

There are certain product categories where we don’t have a Koolskools-manufactured option using recycled man-made materials. For these garments, or when we cannot meet increasing demand for our core range, we will source conventional garments under the Koolskools Fair Trade Offset scheme, where a small percentage of the profits will be donated to Fairtrade or ECO causes.
