DESCRIPTION:About the Idea Forum Retreat\nBetween conferences and meetings and travel and reports and calls – When do you have time to think about the big issues in sustainability? How to tackle them? How to communicate them? How to collaborate with a small group of leaders not only passionate about sustainability but looking for the next step to get things done? \nExclusive for TSC Tier 1 and retailer members: TSC’s Idea Forum is a small\, intimate group of change-makers interested in working collaboratively to identify\, develop and implement solutions for the ever-changing landscape of sustainability.

SUMMARY:New tools: achieving consumer product sustainability at scale
DESCRIPTION:Consumers have made it clear that they prefer to buy from brands who care for people and planet. And in the eyes of consumers\, regulators\, and investors\, those standards now extend to the suppliers with which those companies do business. \nBut for businesses to meet those demands\, they must first navigate the complex landscape of assessments and solutions promising to make all their sustainability problems go away. How does a business know where to start? How do retailers\, brands\, and suppliers seamlessly exchange information to move the sustainability conversation forward? How can they get everything into one place so that the value of sustainability data can be tapped throughout the supply chain and within each business individually? \nThe Sustainability Consortium (TSC) and SupplyShift have entered into a new partnership to help address these questions. Join Supply Shift COO and Co-founder Jamie Barsimantov and TSC Director of Implementation Jessica Ginger to learn about: \n\nThe role industry standardization can play in advancing supply chain sustainability.\nHow retailers\, brands\, and suppliers can work together to achieve consumer product sustainability at scale.\n\nSpeaker\n\n\nJessica Ginger\nDirector of Implementation\nThe Sustainability Consortium \n

SUMMARY:Soil Health Institute’s 4th Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Frequently Asked Questions About Our Annual Meetings\nWhat topics are covered? \nIf you want to be up-to-date on where soil health research and policy are headed for 2020\, the 4th Annual Meeting is a must-attend event. Soil health’s leading experts break into five high-functioning Action Teams: Research; Measurements\, Standards\, and Assessment; Policy; Economics; and Communications and Education. You’ll be directly involved in advancing soil health. \nMost attendees have advanced degrees in soil science or a related discipline and discussion leans more technical than general. \nAre there production breakout sessions? \nThe Soil Health Institute’s annual meeting isn’t designed to replace Agricultural Extension meetings\, farm tours\, commodity or soil conservation meetings. In the past\, most producers who attended and said they valued the meeting content had graduate degrees in agriculture or a biological\, chemical or physical science\, or they have cooperated in on-farm research tests. \nHow do I get on the annual meeting email list? \nAll SHI information subscribers will receive updates regarding the annual meeting\, convenient opportunities to register for the conference\, and early-registration hotel room discounts.

SUMMARY:National Battery Day on Capitol Hill
DESCRIPTION:National Battery Day provides an opportunity to engage with policymakers on the essentiality of lead batteries and the innovative research to improve their performance for automotive and energy storage applications. Global energy demand is expected to increase by 30% between 2018 and 2040. This is the equivalent of adding another China and India to our planet. Renewable energy sources are expected to provide 40% of that power generation.

SUMMARY:Growing Up: How Focusing on Soil Health Can Improve  Sustainability Performance Across an Entire Growing Operation
DESCRIPTION:About\nThe solution to achieving sustainability in agriculture may very well lie just beneath our feet – in the soil. Healthy soils are not only critical to farmers’ livelihoods\, they also provide other benefits that help to address common issues related to food production\, including nutrient and water use efficiency\, on-farm greenhouse gas emissions\, and soil erosion. In this webinar\, we will learn from soil health experts how the implementation of practices to promote soil health can also contribute to improved sustainability outcomes for nutrient management\, greenhouse gas emissions\, and water use at the farm level. We will also explore how collective action in agricultural supply chains helps to ensure positive results for farmers\, food companies\, retailers\, and consumers alike. \n\n\n\nSeries Times and Dates\n\n\nAbout the Achieving Your Sustainability Targets Webinar Series\nThe series will provide you with practical advice for how to make progress in a variety of areas including: Energy\, Deforestation\, Packaging\, Product Use\, Waste\, and Agriculture.

SUMMARY:Decoding the Deforestation KPIs: The Business Benefits of Addressing Deforestation in Your Supply Chain
DESCRIPTION:About\nMany companies have pledged to achieve zero deforestation by 2020\, and TSC KPIs are one way to measure progress to meet this goal.

Join TSC staff and members to hear how companies collect data to respond to TSC’s deforestation and forest and palm oil certification KPIs. Experience TSC’s Commodity Mapping tool\, which demonstrates the main drivers of forest loss\, and learn how your company can use this information to understand the location of where deforestation is happening. Learn about how to get involved in collective action networks that are working to leverage corporate support to end deforestation in high-risk regions. \n\n\n\nSeries Times and Dates\n\n\nAbout the Achieving Your Sustainability Targets Webinar Series\nThe series will provide you with practical advice for how to make progress in a variety of areas including: Energy\, Deforestation\, Packaging\, Product Use\, Waste\, and Agriculture.
