This document provides a brief summary of the Soy Impact Incentives Pilot from June 2022.

This guidance equips sustainability standards with practical tips on how they can make their impact claims more meaningful and effective with confidence and accuracy.

As part of the ATLA project, Better Cotton Pakistan has explored way to work with the Punjab Provincial Government, Civil Society as well as with private sector to embed the BCSS Model into national cotton production practice. The Jurisdictional Approach is one of the key strategy framework for such kind of collaborative arrangements by adopting the standards in national policy context.

ISEAL Community Members can claim to be ISEAL Code Compliant only when they have demonstrated adherence to the baseline and improvement criteria of each of ISEAL’s Codes of Good Practice in accordance with the processes and definitions in this procedure.

This document presents the performance metrics and data sources included in the Hybrid Community-based Monitoring System (HCMS) that was built by the Tech4Communities project in Ghana, using the LandScale assessment framework. 

This roadmap is developed to provide a pathway for all members of the IWSN to achieve the vision and mission of the network which has been aligned with the vision and mission of AWS Global Strategy. The roadmap acts as work program of IWSN which is set in 3 years timeline. The roadmap will help to: Provide clear result framework for IWSN Provide SMART milestones for IWSN

This is one of three infographics that illustrate how the adoption of sustainability standards can contribute towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The examples, based on research of ISEAL members’ impacts, cover:

SCOPE is a geo-design tool that enables users to assess multiple outcomes related to commodity production and alternative policies including total production, water availability, water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and land conversion. The tool allows for examining on-farm policy compliance and explore outcomes at local to landscape levels. This document presents how SCOPE can provide important information to certification stakeholders on how an area could perform against a standard (or is performing against a standard) at the local, landscape, or jurisdictional level.

The M3 Partnership Integrated Assessment Protocol (M3 IAP) is a tool designed to allow mine sites to be assessed against multiple site-level standards in a single audit, supporting identification of alignment across standards, and promoting demonstration of conformity with multiple standards with greater efficiency and reduced cost. This document describes the M3 IAP.

This Guidance document has been developed to facilitate the use of the Integrated Assessment Protocol (IAP). This macro-enabled Excel Workbook was created to assist the Mining Organization and Operation with an integrated approach to assessing conformity to select responsible mining initiatives. This workbook includes a combined protocol that represents the following standards: Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC)

The Mining, Minerals, and Metals Partnership (M3 Partnership) is a collaboration of the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), ResponsibleSteel, and Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM). The M3 Partnership, made possible by the ISEAL Innovations Fund with support by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, aims to identify opportunities for alignment and collective action to drive improvement in social and environmental performance.

This publication was prepared for the M3 Partnership to facilitate integrated assessment to their respective standards and assurance frameworks.

This document includes considerations and a set of guiding questions designed to support the inclusion of the indicators in the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) systems of Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) and other organisations.

This methodology aims to support national commodity associations and other relevant public bodies to aggregate producer-level data using the Delta indicators to assess and report on the sustainability performance of the commodity’s production at country level.

Sustainability systems represent and support complex supply chains, with a wide variety of commodities, producers and geographies included. Emissions reporting is a complex and fast-moving space. Thus, these systems and their communities may face challenges keeping pace with developments and developing consistent and appropriate good practices that can benefit their communities and climate security.

With our new strategy, we’re aiming to increase our impact in tackling the biggest sustainability challenges of our time.

This document describes the requirements Accreditation Organisations need to meet to be ISEAL Accreditation Members.

Version 2 of the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Assuring Compliance with Social and Environmental Standards, published February 2018.

An introduction to comparing and benchmarking sustainability standards systems

This file provides a high-level summary of the differences between the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Sustainability Systems v1.0, and the ISEAL Impacts, Standard-Setting, and Assurance Codes of Good Practice (v2, v6, and v2, respectively). It also highlights essential practices extracted from the ISEAL Sustainability Claims Good Practice Guide.

This file provides an overview of changes between each draft of the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Sustainability Systems. It also includes the corresponding requirements from the ISEAL Assurance, Impacts, and Standard-Setting Code of Good Practice, and ISEAL Sustainability Claims Good Practice Guide.

This document outlines the requirements ISEAL standard-setting community members need to fulfil to reach Code Compliant status. 

This is the latest version (version 4, December 2015) of the procedure describing the development and revision process for ISEAL's Codes of Good Practice.

The revision and integration of the ISEAL Codes of Good Practice into one Code of Good Practice enables a holistic view on system credibility, which provides an opportunity to improve the value of Code Compliant status for ISEAL Code Compliant organisations and their stakeholders. This document clarifies the proposed approach to compliance with the revised Code to support ISEAL’s stakeholders to provide informed feedback on the Code requirements through the consultation process.
