With our growing global network and our focus on credible practices, we drive impact and make markets a force for good. From the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis to human rights and persistent poverty, the world needs scalable and effective solutions. Our convening power and thought leadership accelerate positive change on these critical challenges, so companies and governments can meet their sustainability commitments and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our membership works across more than a hundred countries, in sectors from forestry and seafood to biomaterials and extractives. Independent research illustrates their impacts in production, supply chains and business practices. Our Codes of Good Practice support sustainability systems to improve how they operate and deliver greater impact. Our Credibility Principles help businesses and governments make informed choices about the systems they work with, pushing the schemes to further improve. We work by: • defining credible practice for sustainability systems based on emerging global consensus • convening forums for collaboration, sharing of experience and collective action • delivering expertise, advice and training • facilitating and promoting innovation to strengthen sustainability systems.
