The webinar, to be held in association with Fibre2Fashion, is scheduled for Thursday, July 29, 5.00 p.m. India time.

The webinar acquires significance as 'sustainability' is now more important than ever before in the textiles and fashion industry.

"The textile supply chains are now witnessing the period of ever-growing demand for supply chain transparency and traceability," according to the organisers.

Cotton Council International's sustainability advisor Tara Luckman will update the audience on the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. Through the Protocol, U.S. cotton has set out to create a new standard that brings quantifiable and verifiable goals and measurement to the issue of more sustainable cotton production. The objective is to drive continuous measurable improvement in key sustainability metrics towards 2025 U.S. cotton national goals. Garry Bell, consultant at Cotton Council International, will speak on Protocol's credit management platform.

Further, the farming practices employed in growing SUPIMA® set environmental and ethical standards for cotton around the world. SUPIMA® is able to authenticate its cotton across the entire supply from the fiber and yarn to the fabric and finished product at retail. Incidentally, India is amongst the largest users of SUPIMA®.
