ITHACA, N.Y. — Cornell University’s Atkinson Center for Sustainability has joined the Sustainability Consortium (TSC) as the school seeks to work for “greener” consumer products, supply chains, and commercial trade.
Cornell University is working with TSC in areas that include sustainability research projects, digital agriculture, conservation finance, metrics and public policy.
Formed in 2009, TSC is jointly administered by Arizona State University and the University of Arkansas and works to help companies create more sustainable consumer products. TSC is based in Scottsdale, Arizona.
