Maybe things have changed in the last 3yrs, but the last time I spoke to someone with in depth knowledge of the cotton supply chain, they said you're looking at something like 60% traceability. So as a start I'd be dubious about anyone's claims.
Regardless, cotton uses a fuck tonne of water, organic or not.
The only real solution is consumption reduction I guess.

It's a tough one. They made decent quality things, so I wouldn't categorise them as fast fashion.
Ultimately nothing made from cotton will ever be ethical or environmentally friendly. Anything made from synthetic materials will have detrimental impact at some point.
