11 What s in a name? Leather and Beef? Should our work address both beef and leather from the start? Beef and leather 20% 20% 60% Leather only Vague or no answer Beef? Cows, goats, sheep, pigs, oxen, etc Initiative? Standard, Code, Guidelines, etc

12 Next Steps Leather and Beef Initiative Seed funding We are asking for some initial financial support to help get this work started. Financial contributions are not a requirement for group participation, but there are certainly welcome! Please contact anne@textileexchange.org if this is a possibility. Create an initial working group We will organize the list of stakeholders that we currently have into initial working groups, striving to create a balance of industry sectors, geographies and reflecting people s capacity for engagement. Identify existing initiatives We will use our stakeholders and do additional research to identify what work is already being done with regard to the issues we will be focusing on. Identify and invite additional stakeholders As we identify initiatives and expand out network, we will bring in additional stakeholders to create a balanced International Working Group (IWG). Review issues to be addressed We have already collected a lot of input on the issues that exist in the supply chain, and that people want to have addressed. We will review and discuss these, and try to narrow down where our focus should be.

13 Next Steps Determine strategy for setting priorities The greatest challenge of this initiative will be to determine which of the many issues in the supply chain we work on first. It will be impossible to take them all on at once, and there will likely be a wide range of opinions, so our first step will be to agree on how we will set priorities. Choose initial scopes to work on The fun will begin when we apply our decision-making strategy to determine where we will start our work! Determine types of solutions needed Beyond just the scopes, we also have to decide on the type of solution we are striving for: will it be a standard, guidelines, a decision-making tool or something else? In order to be effective, the solution must be one that will be adopted at scale by the industry, so broad stakeholder input and early buy-in is essential. Formalize IWG All of the above steps will give us the Terms of Reference to move forward with the project. Based on this, we will choose our final Steering Committee, Technical Committee and Advisory Group members. Develop work plan and budget We will use to Terms of Reference to develop the initial work plan and budget for the project. Begin fundraising We will raise money to cover the costs of the project. As with our other work, financial support from stakeholders is important not only to cover costs, but to signal the industry commitment to the outcome.
