Further, the use and development is organised in TMUG, the ToSIA Management and User Group. Any organisation interested in using and maybe even further improving ToSIA (an innovative, do-your-own-scenarios Tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment) for its further use, dissemination and development is welcome.
+
 
+
The main purposes of TMUG are to:
+
- maintain and promote the further development of the ToSIA tool and data;
+
- facilitate the information flow between the members;
+
- define the means and conditions by which organisations can have access to ToSIA;
+
- keep a record, as far as possible, of development work regarding ToSIA Deliverables.

{{DSS description, Scope of the tool
+
{{DSS, Name, responsible organisation and contact person
|Description=ToSIA has been developed by EFI since 2006.
+
|Has full name=Tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment
This new decision-support software tool help spolicy makers, business planners and other stakeholders to make decisions on issues related to the use of forest and other natural resources, the production and consumption of (wood) products. ToSIA analyses Forest Wood Chains as chains of production processes which are linked by products. Each process is characterized using indicators of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The tool quantifies sustainability impacts of user-defined decision alternatives in policies, management, markets or technology in a transparent way to offer an objective platform for communication and argumentation about sustainable development in the forest based sector.

The further development work of ToSIA has been taken up in the Northern Periphery Programme (NPP) project, Northern ToSIA (ToSIA 2.0).
