ISEAL is led by a senior management team and governed by a Board of Directors. ISEAL has three Committees that bring together representatives from ISEAL member organisations and external stakeholders who have a strong overall understanding of the standards world and the larger sustainability agenda: the Finance Committee, Membership Committee and Technical Committee. ISEAL also has an informal governance body – the Stakeholder Council – which provides strategic advice and input to ISEAL’s membership and Board.
