bci stands for 'better cotton Initiative'
BCI is a global non-profit organization dedicated to making cotton production more socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable.
this include, among other things, the following:
working with farming communities to raise awareness and take measures towards better recognition and participation of women in all farm-level activities.
supporting farmers in identifying and implementing locally relevant practices and activities which help farming communities to build resilience for effects of climate change.
working with farmers, workers and their families, particularly women and youth, to address key challenges and help them lead a decent and happy life that is resilient to external shocks.
supporting farmers in ensuring that all workers enjoy fair and safe working conditions. These include working environments that address risks of child labour, forced labour, workplace harassment, violence and discrimination.
These are just a few reasons why we love using BCI cotton for our INC+ items.
