Meetings

PSRT meetings enable members to connect with each other on specific product sustainability issues. As member companies represent the entire value chain, they hear a diversity of perspectives and can benchmark their own activities. Meetings allow members to share lessons learned from their PSRT pilot projects, and to keep abreast of new initiatives and policies in jurisdictions that may influence their products, markets and business strategy.

The PSRT will meet twice each year for three days.

 

Projects

PSRT members and Five Winds work together on a project on a topic of their choice. Projects are designed to explore each member’s interests and answer pressing questions.  Past projects investigated the different tools and approaches in use, or emerging as best practice, including projects on: measuring and demonstrating total cost of ownership; marketing a product’s sustainability features as a value-added; supply chain environmental management practices; environmental considerations in new technology development; product development & design for environment.
