Public consultation: Review and Revision of the International Production Standard
We are pleased to announce that we are conducting a public consultation for the review and revision of the ResponsibleSteel International Production Standard v2.1. The consultation period is open for 60 days, from 1 October to 1 December 2024.
To ensure that the standard remains effective and relevant to the industry, periodic reviews and revisions are essential. This process is guided by the ResponsibleSteel Standard Development Procedure v3.0 (topic 12.1), which requires a review and revision every 5 years, in alignment with the ISEAL code.
As part of this formal consultation, we engage relevant stakeholders, including ResponsibleSteel Members, approved certification bodies, and ResponsibleSteel certificate holders to assess whether the standard requires revision, and we report the findings to the Board. Additionally, it is mandated that any approved urgent revisions be included in this regular review and revision process.
The standard consists of 13 principles, covering a wide range of sustainability topics, including ESG, GHG, and community-related topics. To guide the review and revision process, we have gathered and reviewed all relevant information and developed a public consultation document proposing the scope of the revisions to the standards.
Please find the public consultation document here.
The public consultation is open to all stakeholders, and we encourage all relevant stakeholders to participate and provide their valuable input!
