We see significant growth in organizations seeking external support from consultants to implement Social Management Systems to comply with upcoming regulations. These systems help identify, assess, and mitigate human rights, social and governance risks across the value chain. Organizations may require expertise support on sustainability and social topics, as well as risk management, project management (Plan, Do, Check, Act), continuous improvement, process deployment, and change management.

FSSC offers a unique certification Scheme that combines its expertise in auditable management systems with a new ISO-aligned standard covering the social and governance aspects of the business environment: FSSC 24000 for Social Sustainability.
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 globally recognized by the Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI), 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.
