WHAT WE OFFER
There is unprecedented opportunity to create change in consumer goods supply chains through both increased visibility and recognition of leadership. TSC members are working at the forefront of all sustainability efforts in the consumer goods industry.
We know that consumers rank ingredient transparency among one of the most important issues when making their buying decisions. Customers expect brands to behave sustainably and expect more sustainable products on the shelves. Companies and organizations that recognize this trend and put these consumer concerns into action are leading the sustainability field for more sustainable consumer products. At TSC, we create unparalleled opportunities to become a sustainability leader through our collaborative membership and leadership opportunities.
It’s both the leaders and the laggards that power TSC and our members. The leaders inspire, push, and move us forward with innovation, ingenuity and a passion for people and the planet. The laggards motivate us to seek the understanding they lack.

There are numerous leadership opportunities at TSC.
TSC’s Leadership Institute is an initiative focused on building leadership capacity for those that work in supply chain and product sustainability – a role that often leaves one feeling isolated and alone. To solve for this, TSC Leadership Institute creates a community of practice where participants are empowered to better navigate adaptive challenges in ways that shift whole parts of the system to more sustainable pathways. The Institute walks participants through new ways of perceiving their biggest sustainability challenges so that they can see their challenges from a new light. The Institute uses peer advising, mindfulness, science, creative play, and nature experiences to inspire new and bold ways of thinking. Formerly known as TSC Idea Forum, this new online and in-person program establishes a space where leaders can be brave and explore ideas for tackling our biggest global sustainability challenges. Exclusively for TSC All Access and retail members, we will be opening up options for TSC Standard and non-TSC members to attend in 2020. Past attendees include: Walmart, Amazon, Kroger, Henkel, Mars Inc, HSBC, PepsiCo, EDF, Syngenta, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, WWF, Edison Energy, Walgreens and more!
As a part of the Leadership Institute, we partner with organizations that bring outside perspectives and cutting-edge strategies to nurture innovation, ingenuity and change. We currently welcome our partnership with Eric Martin and Trevor Rees of Adaptive Change Advisers (ACA). They work with people who are committed to leading deep change, with and without formal power, resources and access to financial capital. ACA’s mission is to democratize leadership – putting leadership tools that drive change into the hands of anyone who drives positive outcomes. ACA builds on and extends the framework of Adaptive Leadership, which was developed at Harvard University over the past forty years to tackle challenges that have no known or easy answers.
Collaboration and leadership are at the core of what makes a TSC membership or partnership so valuable. Our members participate in cross-sector initiatives, lend their voices to solve sustainability issues, reduce their costs by implementing sustainability practices and much more. Most importantly, leadership in this area feeds directly into our theory of change to help create a more sustainable planet.
TSC staff and members are collaborating on many different projects across the sustainability industry.
TSC gives me a 6-month advantage to know what issues will be assessed by retailers.
