Expert advisory panel
Sustainability issues can be very complex. In particular, balancing the needs and interests of different stakeholder groups is often extremely challenging. Our international advisory panel provides a regular forum for discussion and debate, enabling us to benefit from the knowledge and wisdom of internationally reputed experts, in a wide variety of relevant fields.
Meeting two times a year, the panel provides feedback and advice on issues including:
- Our methodology for evaluating sustainability performance
- Our minimum standards that eligible companies must meet
- The importance of specific sustainability issues within a particular industry
- New or emerging issues for our sustainability research to consider
