Trade for Sustainable Development – Standards Map
Components
• Standards Map web-‐tools: over 120 sustainability standards covering 80 sectors and applicable in 180 countries; summary reviews of each standard and code; interac,ve search func,onality per sector/product, region/country or specific criteria; comparisons of standards and self-‐assessment tool for producers and suppliers;
• Research & resources center: Publica,ons, business guides and online resource center;
• Capacity building: Bringing intelligence about what the market demands vis-‐à-‐vis voluntary standards, integrated with other ITC tools.
Rationale • Sustainability concerns in global supply
chains;
• High demand from SMEs for transparency on voluntary standards;
• Confusion among SMEs, TSIs and governments around the prolifera,ng voluntary standards applied in interna,onal markets;
• Lack of credible, central & neutral repository for standards informa,on.

A global, central and neutral repository of information
Ø Participation is free of charge for all organizations that develop sustainability standards, codes and audit protocols:
(i) Existence of a published set of criteria & indicators;
(ii) Existence of an implementation system that is operational or nearing operational status (verification, certification, accreditation…);
(iii) Requirements include criteria that address at least one dimension of sustainable development (social justice, protection of the environment, economic development, ethics…).
Ø Standards Map web-tools are free of charge and widely disseminated in close collaboration with strategic partners (buying companies, traders, producers associations, export promotion agencies, etc.);
Ø Customized applications based on the Standards Map database may be built for specific user groups – ad hoc license fees according to partnership agreement.
