OUR IMPACT AND THEORY OF CHANGE
OVERVIEW
TSC drives positive environmental and social change within the consumer goods industry. We were created in 2009 as a response to companies and organizations all over the world feeling pressure to reduce their environmental and social impacts associated with global consumption.
TSC’s impact follows our mission to create more sustainable products for a sustainable planet. This is our long term goal – to create a planet where the resources we use to create the products we consume have a neutral effect on our world.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT
The challenges of creating more sustainable consumer goods are unprecedented, but so are the opportunities. At the core of TSC and our members’ interests is to accurately quantify, communicate and innovate the sustainability of products. Our immediate impact is simple: We work collaboratively together, developing an approach that drives better understanding, standardization and informed decision-making.
Along with aligning stakeholders, TSC metrics and tools are used to create better communication between buyers and suppliers.
BUYERS...
… can communicate efficiently and effectively with suppliers using THESIS tools. By asking category-specific questions and tracking supplier performance using our THESIS key performance indicator, they can assess and communicate over time between suppliers.
SUPPLIERS...
… can address product sustainability more effectively and efficiently by understanding what issues are key to their downstream retailers by measuring and tracking the performance of their own suppliers, and by assessing reporting capability by using THESIS on the SupplyShift platform.
As a result of our collective efforts...
…more companies are building visibility into their supply chains, they are training their suppliers, they are redesigning their products, they are partnering with NGOs, and they are demanding better practices on the ground to protect the natural and social capital on which we all rely. This is how change happens, this is how sustainability happens – together.
