The Sustainability Consortium is an independent global non-profit organization working at the intersection of science and business to drive more sustainable consumer products.

Through innovative products, quality systems and a shared vision, Elanco strives daily to enhance animal health and well-being and therefore, enrich the lives of people worldwide. This also means accepting responsibility for food security for communities—and, ultimately, for the world.
Elanco envisions a world where 9 billion people have enough to eat, but more specifically they have access to quality calories to be healthy, active and strong. Elanco will work to make food more secure for a sustainable development.
Globally, Elanco is developing the technology and sharing the knowledge needed to feed the growing population in a resource efficient way. Locally, Elanco is finding solutions to food security through community partnerships and initiatives to create awareness and increase engagement. Personally, Elanco employees donate their time and talents to break the cycle of hunger in their communities.
Concentrating on breaking the cycle of hunger and food in-security empowers Elanco employees and partners to make the greatest impact globally and locally.
As part of the TSC Food, Beverage, and Agriculture (FBA) working group, Elanco will engage with corporations, civil-society organizations, academics and government agencies from around the world. The FBA working group is the largest and oldest working group at TSC. To date, TSC has developed business tools for 110 consumer product categories, including many in the FBA sector.
