The latest version (version 6, revised in December 2014) of the ISEAL Standard-Setting Code of Good Practice, for Setting Social and Environmental Standards.

Please note: The ISEAL Standard-Setting Code referenced on this webpage and within related resources is no longer in effect. 

The ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Sustainability Systems (‘the ISEAL Code’) came into effect on 1 March 2024, replacing the ISEAL Impacts, Standard-Setting and Assurance Codes of Good Practice. The content on this landing page and within resources is still relevant due to the level of consistency between the ISEAL Code and the Standard-Setting Code. If you have any questions, please contact compliance@isealalliance.org.
