Industry and Other
Achieving improved sustainability outcomes is a journey, and its success is dependent on many factors – from fostering collaboration and a collective sense of purpose, to delivering consistency across all activity that will drive change. We are also aware that the U.S. cotton industry, like many industries, must deliver this progress as demand increases.
Each organization brings their own expertise from within the cotton industry, a thorough understanding of the sustainability challenges facing the textile industry, or experience within the retail sector.
Supporting Membership Levels
A key link to the Trust Protocol’s overarching goals are the many companies and organizations who are providers and suppliers to the cotton value chain or that support efforts to produce more sustainably grown cotton.
A Supporting Member category has been created that provides companies and organizations an opportunity to support the program’s mission and vision.
Participating in this category also provides the opportunity to directly support Protocol growers through the Field Innovation Fund with the goal of enabling continuous improvement. These activities could include educational opportunities, expanded program outreach/awareness, Climate Smart Cotton Program activities, or services to grower members.
