LONDON – CottonConnect and the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the view to combining their specialisms and collaboratively addressing challenges within the sector.
With an agreement covering an initial period of one year, the pair have stated that their partnership will cover four broad areas: knowledge sharing, innovation, environment sustainability assessment, and joint projects.
“Collaborating with our industry allies has become a core principle for the ICAC over the last five years and this partnership with CottonConnect is evidence of that,” said ICAC executive director Kai Hughes. “The chaos caused by the Covid pandemic in 2020 and 2021 has prompted organisations everywhere in the world to think of ways to improve the performance and resilience of their supply chains.”
