This autumn, sustainable consumption reaches a new height of innovation and international collaboration. InSource, a company serving as the focal point for discussions and communications surrounding ethical certification, unites the global sustainability community for the First International Conference on Ethical Certification entitled Certification, Consumption and Change.
Thought-leaders such as Dr Sasha Courville (ISEAL Alliance), Rob Cameron (Fairtrade Labeling Oraganization) and Andre de Freitas (Forest Stewardship Council) join practitioners from major corporations such as Unilever, Tiffany & Co, Cargill and Starbucks to debate and define the future of this important field.
Certification, Consumption and Change will be followed by a landmark report entitled The State of Certification 2010. This report summarizes key findings from the conference, includes ground-breaking case studies and finalizes a ranking of most effective certifications based on multi-pronged criteria including a survey of hundreds of key stakeholders.
