Alia Malik, Better Cotton’s senior director, data and traceability, has been announced as a new board member for the International Cotton Association (ICA).
The UK-based cotton trade association now boasts 24 board members, which it said were going to continue to represent its global membership “across all sectors of the supply chain” and build on its commitment to engage the entire global cotton community.
Speaking on her appointment, Malik said in a statement: ”I am delighted to join the board of one of the oldest organisations in the sector.
“Trade is crucial to driving demand for more sustainable cotton, and I am looking forward to contributing to ICA’s work.”
Alongside Malik, the ICA also announced the appointment of Yahya Saleem, Jagan Gopinath and Ismail Nohutlu to its board, each of which will represent their respective countries.
The organisation further stated that Tim North, an Ecom exec and former board member of Cotton Council International, will be taking on the role of president.
Set up in 1841, the ICA follows a mission to protect the interests of those that trade cotton.
The organisation currently has over 550 international members that represent all aspects of the supply chain sectors.
