How we do it

How we do it

Creating a more sustainable chemical sector demands engagement from every stakeholder working in chemical supply chains. Member companies of Together for Sustainability (TfS) encourage their suppliers to be Assessed and/or Audited to gauge – and ultimately improve – their sustainability performance.

TfS Programmes

TfS Assesments

TfS Assesments

TfS Assessments, usually requested by members or voluntarily by suppliers, review a company’s Environmental, Social, Ethical, and Supply Chain practices. Results are shared with TfS members, and suppliers may also share their score externally.

TfS Audits

TfS Audits

TfS Audits, conducted by approved external auditors, assess sustainability practices at one or more supplier sites against criteria covering Management, Environment, Health & Safety, Labour & Human Rights, and Governance. Results are shared with the supplier and all TfS members.

Scope 3 GHG Emissions

Scope 3 GHG Emissions

Scope 3 (upstream) GHG emissions constitute a major share of a chemical company’s emissions. To monitor, manage and reduce these emissions requires an industry-wide harmonised approach to calculation. The TfS Scope 3 GHG Programme addresses this need.

Sustainability & Circularity

Sustainability & Circularity

Sustainability and circularity are essential for the future of the chemical industry. Chemical companies are adopting new approaches to design, manufacturing, and product management—moving from linear to circular models. This transition supports climate goals, resource security, and long-term competitiveness for the sector.

TfS Academy

TfS Academy

TfS provides tools to support suppliers to prioritise their improvement areas by theme, work required and expected impact. The TfS Academy provides free access to training materials to all TfS members and their selected suppliers.

Confidentiality

All buyer/supplier information remains confidential. Although Assessment and Audit scorecards are shared throughout the TfS membership, buyer-supplier relationships are never disclosed.
