About us

The DCI standard system is a standard system of the whole sustainable cotton industry chain independently researched and established in China. It is a Chinese cotton system and a digital cotton industry alliance with the main goal of achieving "carbon neutrality" and gathering resources from the government, colleges, cotton farmers, supply chains and retail brands.

Background

01

DCI complies with the global green development trend, responds to the call of national policies, and achieves the goal of "carbon neutrality"

China is the world's largest production and marketing country, but the digitalization level of China's cotton industry is relatively low, especially there is no international traceable and sustainable standard system certification for the whole industry chain, and there is a lack of voice in the international community. It is necessary to develop a standard system independently developed by China and internationally recognized to help China's cotton go global.
