Guaranteeing standards

The standards labels organisations set codes of practice relating to specific areas such as ecological sustainability, social justice, human and animal welfare.

To provide a guarantee that their ethical codes of practice are kept to the organisations generally audit key stages in product supply chains, often using independent certification bodies to do so.

To find out more about the specific codes of practice each standards organisation sets, how the ethical standards are guaranteed and what the label looks like please see our information by label.
