Who bears the cost of green? Human rights and equity in voluntary environmental standards for sourcing
  • Recognise that an environmental certification and a human-rights guarantee are not the same thing
  • Compare how leading standards actually treat rights, using the real variation across FSC, MSC, ASC, Rainforest Alliance, RSPO, EU Ecolabel, and ISO 20400
  • Turn that comparison into practice: ask sharper questions of your certified suppliers, layer standards or supplementary safeguards to close the gaps a single label leaves open, and build a defensible position as mandatory human-rights and environmental due-diligence expectations tighten
