There are a myriad of 'sustainability claims' in the market today. The Good Practice Guide was developed through a multi-stakeholder consultation process to define good practice for scheme owners in setting and managing claims about their standards system.

Please note: The ISEAL Impacts, Standard-Setting and Assurance Codes referenced in this guidance are no longer in effect.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 within this guidance is still relevant due to the level of consistency between the ISEAL Code and Impacts, Standard-Setting and Assurance Codes.
