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. Please subscribe here.

SUMMARY:GreenBiz 19
DESCRIPTION:Join more than 1\,200 of the world’s brightest thinkers and most influential sustainability leaders for an unparalleled look into the pressing challenges\, emerging trends and biggest opportunities in sustainable business today. \n\n\nTSC Sessions at GreenBiz 19\nGreenBiz Guru Lunch: Improve Your Sustainability Scores Through Best Practices and Action Recommendations\nWednesday\, February 27 | Presenter: Jessica Ginger\, TSC\nBuyers want to help suppliers increase their scores\, and suppliers want to know the next steps to get there. Join a discussion with TSC’s Director of Implementation\, Jessica Ginger\, to learn some best practices on how you or your suppliers can improve your sustainability scores. Jessica will discuss ways to enable more informed decision-making and richer buyer-supplier conversations about potential routes to improvement. If you’re a supplier\, work with suppliers\, or are a part of answering The Sustainability Index\, primarily used by Walmart and Sam’s Club\, then this lunch is for you! \nJoin interactive moderated lunch discussions around a particular topic. Each table discussion will be led by an expert or thought leader\, held at roundtables of up to 10 participants. These are freeform discussions\, so bring your own challenges\, questions\, and ideas to talk through and get to know your fellow conference participants. \n\nThe Successes and Challenges of Creating a Common Tool for the Beauty and Personal Care Industry\nWednesday\, February 27 | Presenter: Chris Cooke\, TSC\nThe Beauty and Personal Care (BPC) Initiative finalized its common approach to evaluating the sustainability of beauty and personal care products in late 2017. Forum for the Future\, along with TSC\, gathered companies from across the beauty and personal care industry to create more sustainable products. As a response to growing consumer and NGO demand\, this group of leading retailers\, manufacturers and NGOs set out to do the impossible: create a common rating system. Hear from TSC and Forum about the rough road it took to get here\, and the successes and challenges for two would-be competitors to combine forces. Hear from participating brands and retailers as to how they will be using BPC Rating System results to facilitate supplier-retailer dialogue\, drive improvements in supply chains\, and independently evaluate and incentivize better\, more sustainable products. \n\nExcuse Me! Do You Know How to Talk to This Buyer?\nWednesday\, February 27 | Presenter: Jessica Ginger\, TSC\nWhat is the key to translating sustainability performance into buyer language? What do buyers want to see and why? What actions can be taken once sustainability performance is systematically and successfully integrated into the buyer-supplier conversation? Join retail buyers and central sustainability leaders as they discuss the needs and challenges in understanding supplier sustainability performance. \n\n

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. To address these needs and in recognition of National Battery Day\, a panel of leading science and business leaders will share updates on innovative lead battery research as well as public/private partnerships to meet the need for renewable energy and create efficient energy models to lower the planet’s carbon footprint and stabilize the grid. \n\nSpeaking from TSC\n\nCarole Mars\,\nDirector\, Innovation and Technical Development

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. These topics mirror Walmart’s Project Gigaton Pillars – each webinar will touch on issues of greenhouse gas emissions\, but will explore other ways to address and tackle sustainability challenges in each area.This free\, virtual series includes six 75-minute webinars from leaders in the sustainability industry. The webinars are best watched live to actively participate in the panel discussion and Q&A.
