SALINAS, CA - Measure to Improve (MTI), a leading sustainability consulting firm for the fresh produce industry, announced the launch of its Quick Start Compliance Solution, a streamlined program designed to help growers, shippers, and processors respond to THESIS and Project Gigaton™ reporting deadlines.

The THESIS Survey reporting window opens September 8, 2025, and is due November 7, 2025. Walmart’s Project Gigaton, People, and Private Brand Packaging Surveys open on September 15, 2025, and are due by November 14, 2025. These overlapping deadlines place significant pressure on suppliers to submit accurate, credible data on time. For many companies, the annual reporting cycle feels rushed, confusing, and overwhelming. MTI’s Quick Start Compliance Solution changes that.

“Our Quick Start approach is about meeting companies where they are,” said Nikki Cossio, Founder & CEO of Measure to Improve, in the recent release. “We simplify the process, leverage the data you already have, and guide your team step-by-step so you can submit on time, with confidence, and without the stress.”

Why Quick Start Works

Unlike one-size-fits-all compliance tools, MTI’s Quick Start Compliance Solution provides deadline-driven, hands-on support while laying the groundwork for more streamlined reporting and stronger results in future reporting cycles.

With Quick Start, companies gain:

• Credible, on-time submissions for THESIS and Project Gigaton
• Streamlined guidance for navigating portals, prioritizing questions, and interpreting requirements
• Hands-on support through help desk sessions and real-time portal entry assistance
• Forward-looking recommendations to strengthen results in 2026 and beyond

Who Should Use Quick Start

The Quick Start Compliance Solution is designed for companies that are:

• New to sustainability reporting or introducing new staff
• Unsure how to answer THESIS or Project Gigaton questions
• Facing tight deadlines and want to avoid last-minute scrambles or missed opportunities

“Compliance is more than just checking a box,” added Cossio. “It’s an opportunity to build trust with buyers, stand out in a competitive market, and use your data to tell a compelling sustainability story.”
