Are you a consultant? With the FSSC 24000 Certification Scheme, you can now play an active role in the ESG arena.
Organizations worldwide are experiencing growing pressure to meet human rights, social responsibility, and governance regulations. As a result, many are turning to external consultants for support in implementing Social Management Systems (SMS) that ensure compliance and strengthen resilience.
Are you a consultant familiar with ISO standards? Do you have expertise in ESG risk management and the social dimension of sustainability? Now is the time to play an active role in shaping responsible business practices.
FSSC 24000 offers a unique ISO-aligned certification Scheme that integrates auditable management systems with a focus on social and governance aspects of the business environment. By joining the FSSC 24000 framework, consultants can support organizations in achieving credible, measurable, and globally recognized social sustainability certification.
FSSC 24000 is the only ISO-aligned audit and certification Scheme for Social Management Systems today. It covers Human Rights, Forced and Child Labor, Freedom of Association, Discrimination and Fair Treatment of Workers, Occupational, Health & Building Safety, Employment & Contractual Relations, Working Hours, Grievance Mechanisms, and Business Ethics.
It is benchmarked and recognized by the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative, resulting in global market acceptance from major brands such as Metro and Nestlé.
FSSC 24000 is aligned with the ISO Management System approach, follows the ISO Harmonized Structure, and is ISO 17021-1:2015 accredited. In addition to the benchmarking of FSSC 24000 by the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI), it is officially approved by the International Trade Center (ITC) for its Standards Map.
It is also recognized by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA), an agreement for the mutual recognition of accredited certification between IAF Accreditation Body Member signatories.
This unique set of recognitions demonstrates the value of FSSC 24000 and the seriousness and robustness of its approach to certification for Social Sustainability Management.
