Sustainable Cotton
Our sustainability approach in cotton has multiple streams, addressing issues which affect people and the environment.
From sourcing certified, sustainable cotton to promoting industry best practice within and beyond our value chain, we seek to proactively integrate sustainability into our everyday cotton operations.
Case Study
Working on better cotton with BCI
Through our cooperation with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a premier multi-stakeholder initiative for the development of sustainable cotton, we promote and seek to purchase cotton that complies with BCI’s full suite of global standards on production and chain of custody.
Case Study
DNA cotton tracking in Australia
LDC partnered with Applied DNA Sciences and The Hitmasingka Group to install the SigNature® T cotton traceability system at our Moree gin in Australia. This is the first robust, closed-loop supply chain traceability technology which tags, tests and tracks pure HomeGrown™ Australian cotton, enabling LDC to match growing consumer and retailer demand for sustainable cotton.
