The Sustainability Consortium held its 8th TSC Summit last month in Washington D.C. We welcomed over 200 TSC members and guests, including keynote speakers Jason Clay of WWF and Hunter Lovins of Natural Capitalism Solutions. Although I have attended several TSC summits, this was my first one as CEO. I am so honored to lead such an important organization that has already achieved so much. TSC has a big future ahead of it. I continue to be impressed by how engaged TSC members are in our work – they are the driving force behind all that we do. This year we held our first ever Member Awards Ceremony. TSC’s Members bring vision, a sense of purpose and a will to succeed. And above all, they deliver positive change in their companies and their supply chains for people and the planet. At our Summit Reception, TSC gave out 10 awards to individuals and Member organizations to recognize outsized contributions to TSC’s mission: to use the best sustainability science to help companies make the everyday products we use better and more sustainable. And to support TSC’s efforts to deliver Impact at Scale. The winners:
