Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and Aquaculture Stewardship Council are the new associate members of ISEAL, the global association for sustainability standards. The two certification programmes, active in agriculture palm oil and farmed fishing respectively, aim to transform production practices in key global commodities through the use of standards.
RSPO and ASC join associate members from the water, tourism and sugarcane sectors as organisations whose systems meet ISEAL's entry level criteria in terms of scope, governance and practices. Associate membership reflects a commitment to credibility and facilitates the transition to full membership, where compliance is demonstrated with ISEAL's internationally recognised Codes of Good Practice in standard-setting and impacts. ISEAL supports associate members through this process to join a distinguished group of full members that includes Forest Stewardship Council, Fairtrade International and Marine Stewardship Council.
