The hardest part of a sustainability journey isn’t the work. It’s knowing where to start.

Most early-stage brands and manufacturers are juggling limited resources, small teams, and competing priorities — all while trying to run a business.

The result? Sustainability stays on the to-do list. The first step never gets taken.

Cascale’s new Associate membership is designed to change that.

If your organization is ready to take that first step towards measurement, this is where it starts. Read more → https://cascale.pulse.ly/xa6z07sznz

How do we move the needle on global supply chain sustainability? It starts with shared purpose and scalable action.

Our CEO, Ying McGuire, recently sat down with WWD to discuss the path forward for Cascale and the broader consumer goods ecosystem.

“Our mission has not changed, but this industry will need to continue to evolve; our mechanisms will need to evolve. We have done the very hard work of building the plumbing — that is, the universal measurement tools. The real challenge is how we take the depth of the data we have and turn it into business insights for our members that are not just reactive but predictive. And that will require all of us to work together.”

Forest health is foundational to climate action. And responsible wood sourcing is a hallmark of industry leadership. 🪵

That’s why — with support from the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) — Cascale is officially administering the Wood Furniture Scorecard (WFS).

With Cascale’s expanded reach and community in home furnishings, we’re excited to see how the WFS can create a more accountable industry.

This September 15–17 in Athens, industry leaders from across the consumer goods value chain will come together to explore how the costs, responsibilities, incentives, and benefits of supply chain transformation can be more effectively shared.

The event will also mark a major early opportunity to hear from new Cascale CEO Ying McGuire, who will outline her vision for advancing industry collaboration and measurable impact:

“I see this Annual Meeting as an opportunity to convene leaders around a shared vision for progress — one where sustainability is embedded into core business strategy, supported by trusted data and aligned incentives, and capable of delivering value across the entire supply chain.”

In Athens, this is the conversation that matters — bringing together the right leaders, the right ideas, and the right partnerships to define what comes next for the industry and the systems that support it.

The Cascale Annual Meeting program is now live!

We're heading to Athens, September 15–17 — and this year, we're asking the hard questions.

Sustainability and commercial decision-making are still largely speaking different languages. The cost of that gap is rising. This year's program is designed to close it.

The central question: what commercial and partnership models will help brands and manufacturers prioritize, finance, and scale solutions for decarbonization, resilient supply chains, and decent work?

These aren't questions we can answer alone — and that's exactly the point. The Annual Meeting is where the industry comes together: brands, manufacturers, innovators, and decision-makers in the same room, working through the same challenges.

Not just panels. Not just promises. Practical solutions, honest conversations, and the partnerships that make progress possible.

Join us in Athens! 🇬🇷

Cascale member recently received SBTi validation for near-term, long-term, and net-zero targets — and better supply chain data made it possible.

With 100% Higg FEM participation across 275+ Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and 80%+ suppliers completing verification, Komar moved beyond estimated Scope 3 emissions data to primary facility-level data — and used it to set more ambitious, credible targets.

The Higg FEM, stewarded and governed by Cascale and implemented globally through 's platform, was central to that work.

Komar’s CSO, de Fonseka, put it simply: "If you have a strategy without credible data, there's nothing you can do."

We're proud to support members like Komar in turning sustainability data into credible climate commitments. Read the full case study:
