Social and environmental standards systems exist to create a world where ecological sustainability and social justice are the normal conditions of business. But how do we know what progress social and environmental standards are making towards this goal—how can we measure the impact that standards systems have on the world?
In order to answer this question, the ISEAL Alliance is leading the development of a Code of Good Practice for Assessing the Impacts of Social and Environmental Standards Systems. This Impacts Code will establish a framework for standards systems to develop monitoring and evaluation programmes within their organisations, and thereby to assess the impact of their work.
From 1 March 2010 until 30 April 2010 you are invited to contribute your ideas for improvement, discuss key issues, and propose changes to the code.
Please download the current draft, and provide your comments to consultation [at] isealalliance [dot] org using the ISEAL Comment Submission Form (F015).
