THE TCBL FOUNDATION MARKET

Co-funded by Horizon 2020

ANNEX I TO TCBL D 7.3 - 31 MARCH 2019

THE TCBL FOUNDATION MARKET In defining its sustainability plan, the TCBL project consortium has decided to set up the TCBL Foundation as the structure through which to continue the main project activities of a non-profit nature. As an initiative working towards the goal of sustainable fashion, the TCBL Foundation will not be alone; indeed, the subject of this guidebook is to carry out a preliminary census of the various movements, associations, and other foundations that share a same or similar objective. We have called this the â&#x20AC;&#x153;TCBL Foundation marketâ&#x20AC;? in the sense that these varying groups are all operating within a rather significant flow of economic resources dedicated to awareness raising, political lobbying, funding specific initiatives, etc. that the TCBL Foundation will also be interested in. If we consider these resources (or the brand image space they occupy) as finite, that they will all be competitors to the TCBL Foundation. To the degree possible, we prefer to consider the organisations mentioned in the following pages as possible strategic allies for the TCBL Foundation. Our real goal here is thus to identify potential partners with whom we can join forces, share resources, and find complementaries, working together towards a common goal.

WHAT KIND OF FOUNDATION IS TCBL? First, we need to situate the structure planned for the TCBL Foundation in the context of different types of foundation to be found in Europe. In general, a foundation is defined as a nongovernmental entity that is established as a non-profit corporation or a charitable trust, with a principal purpose of making grants to unrelated organizations, institutions, or individuals for scientific, educational, cultural, religious, or other charitable purposes. This broad definition encompasses two common foundation types: private foundations and grant-making public charities. A private foundation derives its assets from a family, an individual, or a corporation. Private foundations must meet a "payout requirement," meaning they have to give away a certain amount of their assets every year. That's why private foundations are all active grant makers. In contrast, a grantmaking public charity (sometimes referred to as a "public foundation") derives its support from diverse sources, which may include foundations, individuals, and government agencies. Most community foundations are also grant making public charities. Please be aware that the "foundation" is not necessarily a legal term in all countries, so if an organization has the word in its name, it is not necessarily a grant making organization1.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 2 One of the characteristics of the legal entities existing under the status of "Foundations", is a wide diversity of governance structures, mechanisms and purposes. Nevertheless, there are some common structural elements that are the first observed under legal scrutiny or classification. These are: • • • • • • • • •

Legal requirements followed for establishment Purpose of the foundation Economic activity Supervision and management provisions Accountability and Auditing provisions Provisions for the amendment of the statutes or articles of incorporation Provisions for the dissolution of the entity Tax status of corporate and private donors Tax status of the foundation

Some of the above must be, in most jurisdictions, expressed in the document of establishment – articles of association in the case of a private foundation, decree of institution in the case of a public one. Other elements may be provided or controlled for by the supervising authority at each particular jurisdiction.

Chart of a foundation governance structure

There is no commonly accepted legal definition in Europe for a foundation. There is a proposal for a European Foundation3, a legal form that would be recognised throughout Europe. In some jurisdictions, a foundation may acquire its legal personality when it is entered in a public registry, while in other countries a foundation may acquire legal personality by the mere action of creation through a required document. Unlike a company, foundations have no shareholders, though they may have a board, an assembly and voting members. A foundation may hold assets in its own name for the purposes set out in its constitutive documents, and its administration and operation are carried out in accordance with its statutes or articles of association rather than fiduciary principles. The foundation has a distinct patrimony independent of its founders.

THE TCBL FOUNDATION The TCBL Foundation is being established under Italian law. In Italy, a foundation is a private non-profit and autonomous organization whose assets must be dedicated to a purpose established by the founders. Private foundations or civil code foundations appear under the section on non-commercial entities in the first book (Libro Primo) of the Civil Code of Law (Codice Civile), dated 1942. Art. 16 CC establishes that the statutes of the foundation must contain its name, purpose, assets, domicile, administrative organs and regulations, and how grants will be distributed. The founders must write a declaration of intention, including a purpose, and endow assets for such purpose. This document can be in the form of a notarised deed or a will. To obtain legal personality, the foundation must enrol in the legal register of each Prefettura (local representative of the State) or in some cases the Regional authority or even the National Ministry. There are several nuances in requirements according to each foundation's purpose and area of activity. Since the First Founding Members of the TCBL Foundation include both public entities (the City of Prato) as well as private bodies (ex-partners of the TCBL Project), the TCBL Foundation is a 3

The TCBL Foundation Market TCBL Handbooks Textile & Clothing Business Labs special instance under Italian law called the “Fondazione di partecipazione” (Participated Foundation). This is a form that while not specifically mentioned in the code of law has come to be defined in practice. The aim is to balance the role of the public sector – guaranteeing action in the public interest – with the ability to act more specific to the private sector. In addition to the mixed composition of the founding members, a Participated Foundation has other specific features, including: • •

The direct participation of its members in carrying out the Foundation’s activities The progressive constitution of the Foundation’s assets, such that the original fund is open to grow by extending membership to new organisations sharing the Foundation’s goals.

As compared to a purely private Foundation, the Participated Foundation enjoys a certain degree of prestige, which is coherent with the aims of the TCBL Foundation to represent a value-based community in addition to awarding (or co-branding) grants to innovation initiatives.

MAIN PLAYERS IN THE FIELD Following is a brief analysis of the different types of organisations operating in areas related to sustainable textiles and clothing. This analysis initially has helped to focus the aims and goals of the TCBL Foundation in the definition of its mission, field of operations and services, and now can act as a landscape of opportunities for collaboration. The following lists shows the organisations appearing on the following pages: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

ROAD MAP TO ZERO W EBSITE https://www.roadmaptozero.com/ CATEGORY Certification initiative MISSION The ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) Roadmap to Zero Programme takes a holistic approach to tackling the issue of hazardous chemicals in the global textile, leather and footwear value chain. The goal is to eliminate the use of priority hazardous chemicals by focussing on the following areas: Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) & Conformity Guidance, Wastewater Quality, Audit Protocol, Research, Data and Disclosure, and Training. ACTIVITIES AUDIT PROTOCOL The ZDHC Audit Protocol provides brands with the capability to initiate and self-assess safe handling of chemicals with objectives at foundational, progressive and aspirational levels. The ZDHC Audit Protocol work is supported by the ZDHC Chemical Management System (CMS) Guidance Manual and the ZDHC Audit Tool Package. The CMS Guidance manual is available on our website and the Audit Protocol Tool package is available to ZDHC Signatory Brands and Value Chain Affiliates. The ZDHC Audit Protocol is aligned with the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) and the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) Chemical Management Module to ensure the creation of one consistent set of chemical management assessment protocols to evaluate manufacturersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chemical management across their value chains. MANUFACTURING RESTRICTED SUBSTANCES LIST (MRSL) & CONFORMITY GUIDANCE The ZDHC MRSL V1.1 is a list of chemical substances banned from intentional use in facilities that process textile materials and trim parts in apparel and footwear. The ZDHC MRSL establishes acceptable concentration limits for substances in chemical formulations used within manufacturing facilities. The limits are designed to eliminate the possibility of intentional use of listed substances. The intent of the ZDHC MRSL is to manage the input of chemicals to the suppliers and remove those hazardous substances from the manufacturing process. It is a living document and will be updated as needed to expand the materials and processes covered and to add substances that should be phased out of the value chain. W ASTEWATER QUALITY Water efficiency is a critical aspect of sustainable and environmentally-conscious manufacturing. While there have been efforts to create regulations by individual governments, brands and even multi-brand consortia, there still exists no single industry-standard guideline that covers all discharge criteria.

The TCBL Foundation Market TCBL Handbooks Textile & Clothing Business Labs

The ZDHC Programme is creating a new standard in wastewater discharge that goes beyond regulatory compliance to ensure wastewater discharge does not adversely affect the environment and surrounding communities. RESEARCH Working with key collaborators from the chemical industry, academic researchers and governmental agencies, the ZDHC Programme encourages research into the development of safer alternatives. DATA & DISCLOSURE The ZDHC Programme and its value chain participants including mills, tanneries, chemical companies and third-party service providers began exploring the challenges in data capture, reporting and global synchronisation. In 2014, the Programme began developing a universal set of XML-standards to organise the way key chemical data should be collected and shared for the benefit of all stakeholders. In 2017, the Programme released the ZDHC Gateway, an online data sharing portal for chemical companies to assess a product's compliance against the ZDHC MRSL. TRAINING Working towards the goal of eliminating and substituting hazardous chemicals from the value chain demands a holistic approach. Not only are we working to develop tools to set new standards in chemical management, but we are developing training on how to implement these. These trainings are aimed at reaching all parts of the value chain brands, chemical suppliers, manufacturers and other intermediaries to adopt ambitious chemical management standards. The ZDHC Academy platform brings the possibility to register for the courses offered by the ZDHC and its training partners in countries such as Bangladesh, India, Italy, Pakistan, Turkey and Vietnam.
