ISEAL Impacts Code of Good Practice
How a scheme measures whether it is achieving the outcomes it claims, rather than whether its rules were followed. A standard for sustainability schemes rather than for a product or a factory. What it governs is how a certification scheme sets its requirements, runs its assurance and measures its effects.

What this standard is for
Why it matters
The distinction this one draws is the one that matters most to a sceptic: a scheme can be perfectly administered and still change nothing on the ground, and this is the code that asks about the second thing.
What to watch for
Integrated into the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Sustainability Systems and no longer maintained separately. Still cited by name in scheme documents written before the merge, which is the reason this record exists.
