Three more companies have joined Together for Sustainability (TfS), the industry initiative for sustainable supply chains, bringing the total membership to 36. They are Germany- and Switzerland-based CDMO CABB; Mitsui, which is the first Japanese member; and Sennics, a Sinochem International subsidiary that makes polymer additives.
“Joining the initiative TfS is a milestone for CABB procurement, said CABB’s chief procurement officer Martin Renner. “Being an active member of TfS allows us to continue and even intensify the expansion of our core values regarding ESG responsibilities within all our supply chains and towards our suppliers.”
