The REEL Linen Code of Conduct is the first global code on linen sustainable production developed by CottonConnect and Kingdom Holdings Limited. The Code draws on the experience of experts in Europe and China, as well as the great practices of flax producers in France, to understand the sustainability challenges in the field.
The REEL Linen Code of Conduct consists of two parts: farming and processing, and outlines areas of good practice for traceability, quality, social and environmental impacts. Linen produced according to the REEL Linen Code will be traceable to farm.
