SSCI Recognition

Building trust in social and enviromental standards worldwide

All schemes

Recognised, conditionally recognised and in the benchmarking progress across all social and environmental scopes

All schemes are listed below as:

Recognised (per scope): Schemes that have successfully passed the SSCI benchmark for the respective scope.
Conditionally Recognised: This form of recognition signifies that the scheme is recognised, provided that specific corrective actions to address minor gaps that do not compromise the scheme’s overall alignment with SSCI requirements will be completed within an agreed-upon timeline.
In the Benchmarking Process: Schemes may choose to be displayed as currently undergoing benchmarking to show their commitment to meeting industry expectations.

Monitoring of Continued Alignment Process (MoCa)

The Benchmark Process is based on continuous alignment and will therefore have annual assessments to check the continued alignment with the mandatory SSCI Benchmark Requirements on an annual basis (SSCI Integrity Programme). The monitoring is performed by the independent Benchmark Leader (usually who performed the initial benchmark of the Scheme) under the supervision of the SSCI Manager. The steps of the yearly Monitoring of Continued Alignment process are:

The SSCI-Recognised schemes that have completed more than one year of the MoCA process are now marked with a stamp indicating the number of years they’ve maintained alignment.
