Summary
This 2017 ISEAL report demonstrates how sustainability standards that are ISEAL Alliance members are already contributing to the SDGs, pulling together evidence, primarily from members' evaluation studies and monitoring data and select external sources, of how certification is driving positive economic, social and environmental impacts in many sectors, resulting in measurable progress toward SDG targets. This report builds on infographics published by ISEAL Alliance on the contribution of standards to the SDGs and complements a WWF/ISEAL report on how businesses can use credible voluntary sustainability standards to achieve the SDGs, both published in February 2017.
