Feb 9, 2026 | 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Description
Organised by The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) and Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA)
Cotton is the world’s second most produced fibre, yet millions of smallholder farmers remain invisible at the deepest tiers of the textile supply chain. This session explores how human rights and environmental due diligence can reach farm level in India’s cotton sector – where systemic challenges threaten livelihoods and sustainability. Co-hosted by the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) and Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA), it will showcase collaborative models that empower farmers, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and drive responsible sourcing. Join us to learn practical approaches that make due diligence inclusive, context-sensitive, and impactful for both people and the planet.
