Brief History

Industry leaders above came together to create and adopt a unified collaborative strategy, pulling individual resources, expertise, effort and combining years of developments to jumpstart the sector-wide transformation. 

​

Now, through collaboration with both the private and public sectors, COTI+PRIMI are creating a comprehensive framework to promote industry-wide adoption of these practices, including:

​

• Market-driven incentives can encourage producers to adopt sustainable practices by rewarding environmentally conscious efforts. 

• Collaborative partnerships among stakeholders in the supply chain can pool resources and knowledge, making the transition more manageable and cost-effective. 

​

• Upgrading technology to streamline processes

• Sustainable finance models that can provide accessible funding options for producers looking to invest in greener practices. 

• Policy advocacy with public sector that can promote supportive regulations and standards, such as tax incentives, creating an enabling environment for sustainable production. 

As the founding team, we understand that ensuring the long-term success of COTI Initiative relies on solutions that enable the whole beef and leather supply chain industries to absorb DCF implementation costs overtime.
