GENEVA – The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) has become the latest signatory to the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action; a commitment through which it will work cohesively with a growing number of brands, manufacturers and organisations striving to mitigate climate change through the adoption of more sustainable practices.
The Charter, launched last year by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in collaboration with various apparel sector stakeholders, aims to unite the broader fashion industry behind binding goals to tackle climate change.
“Through collective action and bold leadership, we have the power to make this fast and drastic transformation,” the company says. “By signing the Charter, we have demonstrated our commitment to playing our part to ensure that cotton production is on the path to a low-carbon future.”
