 PARTNERSHIPSAlongside membership, the BCI continues to operate inclusively and welcomes other organisations that do not fit into the 5 membership categories (Civil Society, Producers, Retailers and Brands, Suppliers and Manufacturers, Associate members) or are unable to become members of an Association like the BCI.
The BCI will work in partnership with those organisations interested in contributing to the mission of the BCI, through an appropriate written and signed agreement. Depending on what is relevant for the interested organisation, BCI has developed template agreements for Implementing Partners (for organisations willing to implement the Better Cotton System at farm level) and Public Partners (for governmental or inter-governmental bodies that are unable to be members).
Implementing Partnership is relevant for an organisation that desires their work at field level to adhere to the requirements of the Better Cotton System so that the farmers involved can grow and sell Better Cotton. BCI will provide support, advice and tools to Implementing Partners.
Public Partnership is relevant for an organisation that is governmental or inter-governmental with restrictions on its ability to participate within membership associations such as the BCI, with an interest in working with or promoting the Better Cotton Initiative and/or the Better Cotton System, or providing relevant expertise, advice, experience to implement the Better Cotton System.
Other forms of partnership can also be explored.
