概要

This report builds on a systematic review of the business benefits of sustainability standards published by ISEAL in 2016. ISEAL is now doing a refresh of this topic, looking at research and evidence published in the last six years. It sets out to analyse trends in the evidence and draw deeper learnings on the benefits that adopting standards can drive for businesses. The study confirms that the adoption of sustainability standards results in the realisation of a wide range of early benefits to businesses along the value chain which can materialise at business, value chain and sector level.
