OCA Team
As a multi-stakeholder organisation, OCA has a responsibility to ensure that our Board of Trustees, committees and Contributors now and in the future, feature a diversity of stakeholders to give voice to every actor in the organic cotton sector. This meaningful representation is seen in our Governance Model; which is explained in more detail here.

Our Values

Our values represent the guiding framework for what we do.

  • We are honest

    "
    There’s no smoke and mirrors at OCA. We say what we mean and do what we say—whether it’s with farmers, partners, or each other. That kind of clarity builds trust, and that trust powers everything else. For me, honesty here isn’t about avoiding mistakes; it’s about being real, learning fast, and moving forward with integrity.

    Capacity Building Manager, Organic Cotton Accelerator

  • We have grit

    "
    At OCA, we don’t shy away from what’s hard, we lean into it. Grit here means showing up with purpose, sticking with it when things get messy, and celebrating the small wins along the way. We know real change takes time. That’s why we stay committed, no matter how tough the path gets.

  • We are inclusive

    "
    At OCA, inclusivity isn’t just a value, it’s woven into how we collaborate, learn, and grow. No matter where you come from or what your story is, your voice matters here. We believe diverse experiences don’t just enrich our work, they’re essential to solving big challenges. Being part of this team means showing up as you are and being celebrated for it.

  • We are enterprising

    "
    Working at OCA means bringing your ideas to the table, and knowing they won’t just sit there. This is a place for thinkers, doers, and quiet disruptors. The mindset is: see a gap, create a solution. We move fast, try new things, and stay focused on what really matters, delivering better outcomes for farmers and our sector.
