From agricultural, fiber and textile research, market information and technical services, to advertising and public relations, fashion forecasts and retail promotions, we keep one goal in mind: To ensure that cotton remains the first choice among consumers in apparel and home products.
The Better Cotton Initiative is the world’s leading sustainability initiative for cotton. Our mission: to help cotton communities survive and thrive, while protecting and restoring the environment.
Together we form a network of 2,500+ members committed to cotton that is grown to the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) Standard, which supports and trains farmers to:
- Protect the environment
- Develop equitable working practices
- Improve resilience and income
This standard is a rigorous, accountable and transparent approach to more sustainable cotton farming.
