ZURICH — The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), Committee For International Co-Operation Between Cotton Associations (CICCA), International Cotton Association (ICA), International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) and International Textile Manufacturers Association (ITMF) are to work together to address the threat of the coronavirus pandemic.
It comes after MCL News & Media published a 15-page white paper on the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cotton supply chains to help retailers, brands and those involved in cotton production to find their way through the economic and social crisis.
The cotton initiatives say they have now come together to promote a common set of values and a shared commitment to safe trading and contract sanctity across the global cotton community.
