GIC launches Value Chain Partner Initiative for scaled sustainability in consumer brands
The Global Impact Coalition (GIC) is launching a new initiative to engage consumer-facing companies in product and packaging sustainability. Through concrete projects and actionable solutions, the new platform will enable consumer goods companies to work with the chemical sector on industry-wide challenges to reduce emissions and waste.
GIC launches Value Chain Partner Initiative to engage consumer brands in sustainability.
As companies across the value chain confront rising demand in meeting climate, circularity and recyclability targets, achieving meaningful progress will require deeper collaboration between chemical producers and downstream consumer goods companies.
“Reducing what is known as scope 3 carbon emissions will require a deeper integration of business models and ultimately, greater collaboration along the material and product value chain,” said Charlie Tan, CEO of the Global Impact Coalition. “We are putting out a strong call to action for global consumer goods companies to co-build the next generation of supplier-enabled solutions, along with the chemical industry.”
GIC invites consumer goods leaders to join a structured engagement with chemical suppliers, from ideation to tangible projects, designed to co-develop commercially scalable projects that reduce emissions, increase circularity, and enable safer chemical use.
The Value Chain Partner initiative gives consumer brands a unique opportunity to:
Shape future-ready projects that directly reflect consumer goods business needs
Pilot tangible solutions with chemical suppliers and scale what works
Join a platform of global leaders working to accelerate progress on Scope 3 emissions reduction, circularity, and “no harm” innovation
Unlike traditional industry groups focused on advocacy or roadmaps, GIC operates as an action-oriented platform that guides members through a four-stage process, from shared problem definition and ideation to project development and spin-out.
Current GIC projects include joint efforts on developing 100% circular waste streams, sustainable biomass sourcing, and PFAS remediation and destruction.
