» Jason Potts, Matthew Lynch, Ann Wilkings, Gabriel A. Huppé, Maxine Cunningham, Vivek Voora, IISD, 2014.Book, 365 pages, copyright: IISD and IIED, ISBN 978-1-894784-45-0

The State of Sustainability Initiatives Review 2014 provides a bird’s-eye view of market and performance trends across 16 of the most prevalent standards initiatives operating across ten different commodity sectors. The Review represents one small effort toward strengthening our understanding of how voluntary sustainability standards are developing over time, both in terms of the systems they deploy and the market impacts that they have. It is hoped that the ensuing data and analysis, when read in conjunction with the growing body of field-level impact data, will allow supply chain decision-makers to strengthen their own strategic decision-making processes in ways that provide optimal sustainable development impact.
