Statement on "Boycott Xinjiang Cotton" from BCI's Official Website
In October 2020, the Swiss Better Cotton Development Association (BCI) announced the indefinite cancellation of guarantee certification for all Xinjiang cotton enterprises, allowing Xinjiang cotton products to enter the "blacklist" of international trade. After the Chinese people condemned and boycotted member brands such as BCI and H&M this year, BCI secretly removed the statement that caused an uproar.
