The partnership is the result of Levi Strauss’ joining the Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA), a multi-stakeholder organisation that brings supply security and measurable social and environmental benefit to organic cotton production, last year

Jeffrey Hogue, LS&Co.’s chief sustainability officer, said: “It is through partnerships made available to us through OCA that we can work together to not only support the longevity of cotton but also make sure the way we do it best supports the communities.”
