Available Certification Schemes

Below are certification schemes that may help mitigate supply chain risks flagged in GMAP. The information below is drawn from International Trade Centre’s Sustainability Map. The scores of the 10 GMAP indicators per country-commodity combination are listed at the top of the page, followed by available certification schemes for that combination. On the left, view a description of the scheme. On the right, view the extent to which the scheme may help mitigate or cover the risks flagged in GMAP. To compare across up to three certification schemes, click the Select box under the relevant certification scheme names and click compare at the bottom of the screen.

The default view is by compatibility, where certification schemes that address the most identified risks are ranked higher. GMAP users can also view this information by indicator or search for certification schemes sorted alphabetically by name. A score of 80 or above is considered high risk. A higher risk score implies a higher probability of occurrence and severity of impact.

un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/

un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/

    un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/

    un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/

un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/
