ISEAL has developed a draft good practice framework to support sustainability systems to strengthen the effectiveness of improvement strategies.

ISEAL is very excited to announce that the ProTerra Foundation is joining ISEAL as a Community Member. We are pleased to welcome a standards system that supports stakeholders to continuously enhance day-to-day sustainability practice at all levels of the feed and food production system.

ISEAL is pleased to announce that the Copper Mark has been approved as an ISEAL Community Member. We are excited to be working with an initiative that broadens our understanding of the mining and minerals sector and look forward to Copper Mark’s participation in the ISEAL community.

This form allows Community Members, who are in good standing within the community for at least 12 months to apply for the code compliance program.

With a shift towards outcome-focused sustainability standards and measurement, ISEAL commissioned 3Keel to review different metrics for monitoring sustainability performance.

ISEAL’s revised Code of Good Practice aims to support sustainability systems to achieve the impact they want – and we want to hear what you think.

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.

This document sets out what our Code Compliant status recognises for our Community Members.

Tackling gender inequalities is becoming increasingly important for voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) and similar systems to address. Sustainability systems are looking to integrate gender into their standards and the management of their organisations. Sustainability systems that are not gender-responsive can result in unnecessary health and safety risks for women and girls, and lead to unequal impacts and unintended consequences.

This document represents a short ‘start here’ level introduction to the ‘Accounting & Reporting the emissions of certified commodities’ suite of guidance documents. This document is specifically aimed at ISEAL member schemes or other sustainability systems who have commenced or are considering commencing on a process to align their certification of commodities and chains of custody models with emissions reporting good practices.

In 2019, ISEAL launched a review of both the Impacts Code and Standard-Setting Code. The results of the review will inform the revision of the codes in 2020. This document contains information about the review objectives, process and opportunities for involvement.

This is the 3rd workshop in our series of Workshops dedicated to increasing our collective understanding of how remote auditing practices are evolving.

On Friday, 7th November 2025, we co-hosted the Landscape Practitioner Network in-person workshop in Jakarta alongside LTKL. This workshop aimed to strengthen collaboration among landscape practitioners by sharing experiences, exchanging learning, and exploring practical solutions to systemic challenges, such as deforestation, tenure, and resilient livelihoods, through landscape and jurisdictional approaches.

Sustainability systems (such as voluntary sustainability standard and certification schemes) are increasing their efforts to advance gender equality, recognising its importance both as a fundamental human right and as a means to achieving other aspects of sustainability. This toolkit aims to support these systems to advance their thinking and action on gender equality by compiling curated resources and practical case studies.
