Sustainability

"The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests."

"The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) is a global organization transforming the consumer goods industry to deliver more sustainable consumer products. We work to enable a world where people can lead fulfilled lives in a way that decouples their impacts on people and the planet.
Comprised of a diverse array of members and partners, ranging from manufacturers and retailers to NGOs and governmental agencies, we convene stakeholders from across the spectrum to collaboratively develop science-based decision tools and solutions. These efforts address the critical sustainability issues that reverberate throughout a product’s supply chain and lifecycle."
