ISEAL is leading a global consultation to generate consensus on a set of Credibility Principles that represent the core values upon which effective standards are built.

The Credibility Principles will be an international reference for discussions centred on credibility in sustainability standards and will improve effectiveness so that sustainability standards will adopt good practice.
