SCS Global partners with Climate Collaborative as solutions provider

The Climate Collaborative, a joint project of the Sustainable Food Trade Association (SFTA) and OSC2, has announced SCS Global Services is an official solutions provider partner. SCS, Emeryville, California, is an international third-party certifier and standards developer, with a focus on climate and sustainability. As a solutions provider, SCS will share insights and support the efforts of the Climate Collaborative's network of companies committed to taking “bold action” on behalf of the climate and environment.

“One of our core priorities at the Climate Collaborative is to connect companies with tools, resources and trusted partners and solutions providers in the industry that will enable our network to raise their climate ambitions,” Climate Collaborative Executive Director Erin Callahan says. “In addition to the expertise and services provided by SFTA and OSC2, the Climate Collaborative engages supplementary solutions provider partners.”

The Climate Collaborative provides a roadmap and resources for seeking to minimize their carbon footprints. Companies can make public commitments in action areas covering agricultural practices, energy efficiency, food waste, forests, packaging, policy, renewable energy and transportation.  Since the collaborative was founded in 2017, more than 340 companies have made 1,300 specific climate commitments.

“The Climate Collaborative is a highly effective organization bringing together companies who are demonstrating every day that environmental and climate stewardship is good business,” SCS Senior Vice President Linda Brown says.  “We have enjoyed exchanging information and ideas, and look forward to help these companies innovate and achieve their climate and sustainability goals.”

In addition to sharing information with Climate Collaborative companies via webinars, articles and other resources, SCS will provide discounts on key climate and sustainability services, such as carbon footprint and neutrality certification, carbon offset verification, sustainability report assurance, water stewardship and zero waste verification, Sustainably Grown® certification, USDA Organic certification, non-GMO Project verification and food safety training and certifications.
