In 2013, ISEAL launched the Credibility Principles, which provide an international reference for defining the foundations of credible practices for sustainability standards. Since mid-May 2020, we are leading consultations that will expand the scope of the Credibility Principles beyond sustainability standards to a wider range of systems, such as data-based and landscape-based approaches as well as update the scope of the Credibility Principles to reflect current and future trends affecting standards and similar systems.

How forward-looking is our understanding of credible practice? What approaches will be driving impacts five years from now? In this webinar, experts in remote auditing, data-driven assurance and landscape-level sustainability helped to shed light on the future of sustainability standards and related instruments and helped us understand what this means for the credibility principles.

Speakers include:

• Sophie Higman, Director, Programmes, Proforest UK
• Chisara Ehiemere, Assurance Director, Field to Market
• Thomas van Haaren, Senior Manager, Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI), The Consumer Goods Forum
• Patrick Mallet, Innovations Director, ISEAL

Moderator:

• Joshua Wickerham, Membership and Engagement Manager, ISEAL

This webinar is part of ISEAL’s public consultation on the revision of the ISEAL Credibility Principles.
