  • Standards need to work for everyone – here’s how we do it

    World Standards Day this year focuses on the power of partnership and the impact of working together. The development of standards can enable meaningful collaboration between industries, governments, and civil society, but a lack of representation of diverse and relevant expertise from civil society organisations risks the adoption of standards which may not be fit for purpose.

  • Access granted? Best practices for including NGOs in the work of National Standardisation Bodies

    Our toolkit aims to explore how to best engage civil society in standards-making, gathering best practices from environmental NGOs involved in standardisation at national level, and puts forward a number of recommendations for National Standardisation Bodies (NSBs), national governments and environmental NGOs themselves.
