Sustainability standards join forces to scale climate impact
For the first time standards including Better Cotton Initiative, Fairtrade, FSC, and the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials will be able to quantify carbon emission reductions in their certified commodities in a way that corporate purchasers can count toward their climate commitments.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – 25 August 2020
With increasing demand for more sustainable, climate-friendly goods and services, ISEAL member standards are collaborating with Gold Standard to define common practices to calculate carbon reductions and sequestration that companies can easily report against their Science Based Targets or other climate performance objectives. The objective is to drive sustainability at a landscape scale through certified commodities with improved climate impact.
