Mark Messura, Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain Marketing at Cotton Incorporated, a founding member organisation of the Cotton LEADS™ program explains, the program is at the forefront of the world’s efforts for sustainably-sourced cotton. Joining Walmart in the Cotton LEADS™ program brings the scale and commitment of an industry leader together with the leaders in cotton sustainability and responsibly-sourced cotton.”

The Cotton LEADS™ program is a joint effort of the Australian and US cotton industries. Its founding members are Cotton Australia, the Australian Cotton Shippers Association, the Cotton Foundation, the National Cotton Council of America, Cotton Council International and Cotton Incorporated. The program is designed to raise awareness about responsible growing practices and commitment to continuous improvement among cotton producers in the member countries.
