On Sunday 19 November, the streets of Geelong were alive with over 10,000 participants lacing up and getting involved in the ninth annual Run Geelong.

In 2016, the Cotton On Group set itself the bold goal to use 30% more sustainable cotton in its products by 2019. There are smaller milestones in place to help reach this and the first target – to use 4% Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) cotton in FY17 – has recently been exceeded by 0.3%.

One in four Aussie girls aged 12 to 18 are bullied on a regular basis, both in-person and online. If you ask the Supre Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Cotton On Group’s brand Supre, this is not an acceptable statistic – and they’re doing something about it.

As a retailer with its roots in Geelong, there are plenty of AFL – and Cats – supporters among the 1,400 team members in the Cotton On Group’s North Geelong HQ. And with round one of the 2017 AFL season kicking off this week, the team is excited to see the Cats run onto the field in their new COAR apparel; high-performance wear designed by Cotton On.
