W+ Standard at ISEAL Alliance’s Global Sustainability Standards Conference

Jeannette presented the W+ Standard during the Breakout Session on Showcasing Subscribers in ISEAL’s Community at the Global Sustainability Standards Conference, organized by ISEAL Alliance on 12 May in Washington DC. The session showcased various standards systems working across a diverse range of sectors and sustainability issues. Over 250 sustainability leaders and experts from business, government, NGOs and academia came together to explore the role of standards in driving greater positive social and environmental impact.

This year’s theme was “Growing Impacts: Innovation and Evolution” and ISEAL’s Community as well as those interested in standards and certification discussed and debated how standards systems can harness technological advances, new tools and opportunities for collaboration so that they can evolve, improve impacts and scale up. It explored how standards can maintain credibility at the core of what they do as they grow in a range of sectors and commodities.
