About OneWorldStandards

OneWorldStandards believes that trade based on social and environmental standards contributes to economic empowerment, social development and integrity of the world's natural resources. We are independent of any specific standards and labelling system.  Our focus is on maximizing the overall potential of any system to deliver social and environmental benefits.

Our staff and Associates have a wide range of experience in relation to social and environmental standards and standard setting, including work with leading international organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), the Rainforest Alliance, The Climate Group and the International Social and Environmental Accreditation and Labelling Alliance (ISEAL).

OneWorldStandards Director, Matthew Wenban-Smith, served on the technical advisory board of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) from 2005 to 2008 and as Certification Program Director for Dovetail Partners, Inc from 2006 to 2008.

OneWorldStandards has been an ISEAL Community Affiliate since 2006
