Claims within Materials and Social Responsibility[edit]

When searching for a source for the "citation needed" claims regarding organic cotton and factory members belonging to a union, the only potential source I have identified is an article in The Guardian that was written by a Veja co-founder: [1]https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2019/jun/20/the-veja-way-inside-the-cult-sneaker-brands-operations-in-amazonia-a-photo-essay

The article does state that organic cotton is purchased at a higher price (as claimed in Materials) but does not reference union status at the factory. It is published in a mainstream news source, but is attributed to the brand co-founder. Regarding union claim: I feel this should be removed; regarding cotton claim: unsure if this should be removed or marked in some way to clarify the origin is from the brand's co-founder and does not appear to have been fact checked?
