The world doesn’t just need cotton, it needs Better Cotton.
Our mission is to help cotton communities survive and thrive, while protecting and restoring the environment.
Better Cotton is a global initiative that aims to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the sector’s future. The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) works with a diverse range of stakeholders across the cotton supply chain to promote measurable and continuing improvements for the environment, farming communities, and the economies of cotton-producing areas.
