Better Cotton cements contract sanctity with ICA pledge

05/05/2015
The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) has joined the International Cotton Association (ICA), adding its name to a list that includes Supima, the Bangladesh Cotton Association, the Brazilian Association of Cotton Producers and the Australian Cotton Shippers Association.

The ICA has an ‘Affiliated Association’ membership category, aimed at cotton associations to help reinforce and support contract sanctity across all areas of the cotton supply chain.

BCI CEO Patrick Laine said: “BCI learned long ago that companies that respect contract sanctity are also more likely to respect their environmental and social commitments as well. Part of BCI’s mission is to assist in improving the well-being of the entire cotton industry and membership of the ICA is consistent with this important objective.”

BCI aims to transform cotton production worldwide by developing Better Cotton as a sustainable mainstream commodity.
