GiLTEX was selected as the Official Textile Partner for COP29.

The partnership demonstrated our commitment to sustainable development on both a local level and global scale alongside the critical role both GiLTEX and GP Cotton have to play in supporting the climate crisis, helping drive impact and positive change.

GP Cotton’s textile and manufacturing arm produced and supplied uniforms for conference stewards and security, alongside official t-shirts and tote bags for staff and attendees.

Alongside this, we took to the stage in the official Blue Zone for a number of keynote presentations and panel discussions, addressing topics that included better cotton, soil health, efficient water use and sustainable livestock production.

We also hosted a number of international clients, local stakeholders and strategic partners at our dedicated stand within the Green Zone, allowing them to engage with global climate policies and support climate action in each of their areas of business.

Partnering with COP29 as Textile Partner is a significant milestone for GiLTEX, it highlights our commitment to sustainability and climate action within the cotton industry. This collaboration empowers us to champion climate-smart agriculture, advancing environmental protection and social responsibility

A look back at COP29

Throughout COP29 we hosted a number of official events throughout the Blue Zone, attended by government ministers, global delegations and leading industry representatives.

Alongside this, we hosted events in the Green Zone, which extended attendance to private sector businesses and sustainability changemakers.

Participants and attendees shared their experiences and offered valuable insight into impact-led initiatives, sustainable best practise, the latest innovations, technologies and solutions to help improve cotton production and use the industry as a force for good.
