The Cotton Round Table brings together diverse cotton communities, from field to finished products.
About
The Cotton Round Table convenes the cotton community to inspire action, foster collaboration, and equip stakeholders to scale the production of cotton that aligns with our Climate+ strategy and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. By building a strong network, developing practical tools, and making a business case for change, the Cotton Round Table empowers the international cotton textile industry with the knowledge, confidence, and supply chain connections to collectively shift from conventional to preferred cotton.
Goals
We are working to build diverse cotton communities that support resilient agricultural systems, empower farmers, and deliver measurable benefits for climate, soil health, water, and biodiversity.
Scope
From farm to finished product
Our scope spans the cotton supply chain—from the farm to the finished textile. We focus on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture while improving soil health, water management, and biodiversity. At the core of our work is advancing the adoption of sustainable farming practices to deliver measurable environmental benefits.
