"Sustainability is not a showy and impractical slogan. We can benefit from it even in the short term.”
Robert Yang, Arkema (TfS Member)
Joining TfS gives members and suppliers access to trusted data, shared tools and expert collaboration – helping them meet rising regulatory demands, improve performance and build more resilient, responsible supply chains in a rapidly evolving global market.
This collaborative effort across the supply chain drives industry progress forward, fostering a more sustainable future.
Members are committed to continuous improvement, upholding the principles of Responsible Care® and the UN Global Compact.
TfS is more than a procurement initiative – it is a member-led movement accelerating the development of sustainable and resilient chemical supply chains.
As membership grows, so too does the shared network of assessed and audited suppliers, expanding our collective reach and impact across the value chain.

TfS is a member-led initiative that relies on active engagement and commitment from its members and their leadership.
Membership is more than a mere formality; it is a commitment to integrating expertise and sharing learnings for greater impact. Members contribute to the development, implementation and continuous improvement of TfS tools, assessments and training, helping build stronger, more resilient supply chains.
Each member is expected to participate in Workstreams and governance bodies, and to embed TfS into their own procurement practices by engaging suppliers and conducting a defined number of assessments, audits and improvement actions each year.
Our publications provide further insight. The TfS YouTube channel hosts films explaining the vision, history and future of TfS.
