20 While Aritzia purchased 4,892,397 kg of Better Cotton, we were only able to claim 36% of these Better Cotton Claim Units due to improvements required and ultimately made to our internal data collection processes. When adjusted to account for Aritzia’s full Better Cotton consumption, 95% of our cotton used in Fiscal 2024 was Better Cotton, organic, or otherwise certified. Moving forward, we have identified these discrepancies to accurately account for our cotton impacts. We have calculated our raw material volumes and their associated impacts to reflect the actual Better Cotton credits we were able to claim
