tms Wins “Significant Impact” Recognition at the Products of Change (POC) Sustainability in Licensing Conference 2024
tms is delighted to have received an award from the Products of Change (POC) at a ceremony to celebrate the individuals and companies who exemplify the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
tms was presented with the award at the POC Conference on November 6th, held at the Royal Geographical Society in London, with the award recognizing “the significant impact that an agency can have on a partner’s business, particularly at the intersection of industries”, by aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production. The awards are a non-entry event, with the POC advisory board deciding on four recipients each year.
Lisa Foster, Global Sustainability Product Lead, at tms, commented, “Andrew Hajithemistou and I were truly humbled to be called up to receive the Responsible Consumption and Production award for tms, recognizing our impact across our client portfolio, notably for the work we undertake across the full spectrum of activity for McDonald’s Happy Meal campaigns.”
The engagement and opportunities POC foster through the network has been of huge value to our own sustainability journey; we can’t thank the team and advisors at POC enough for the accolade and for the inspiration to connect and collaborate with fellow members in the months and years ahead.
POC is a purpose-driven, non-profit organization focused on supporting the membership to collectively build infrastructure and provide the resources needed to help reduce environmental impact, as well as providing help and direct guidance on sustainable development.
The award trophies were created by Waterhaul, who recovers and recycles marine plastic and waste fishing gear to turn into new products, such as sunglasses. These awards were crafted from discarded PPE and recycled wood, perfectly embodying the ethos that their recipients have demonstrated.
