About
Who is it for?
The Community Cohort is tailored to organizations whose work sits outside of direct raw material sourcing or production, who are looking to grow their sustainability expertise, and seeking to share the journey with peers across the industry. It is open to all organizations, with no prerequisites for participation.
It works well for:
- Suppliers who are not directly sourcing raw materials
- Service providers, innovators, and consultants
- Students, academics, NGOs, and research organizations
- Brands, retailers, manufacturers, or suppliers not yet ready to join the Action Cohort
