ISEAL’s Codes of Good Practice provide a globally recognised framework, defining practices for effective and credible sustainability systems. We are currently revising and integrating the ISEAL Impacts, Standard-Setting and Assurance Codes, along with essential practices from the ISEAL Sustainability Claims Good Practice Guide, into one single Code of Good Practice.

The Landscape Monitoring Framework of the socio-economic dimension (LMS) is a tool that provides practical guidance to assess the socio-economic status of a landscape to monitor progress and facilitates action for development.

It highlighted the important role systems can play in reducing gender inequalities and improving women's empowerment.
