Creating a world where environmental sustainability and social justice are the normal conditions of business
What are Impacts
> Positive or negative long-term effects of the standards system
> The change we make in the world
> As impacts are long-term change, it is difficult to prove that what a standards system does, results in impact

Creating a world where environmental sustainability and social justice are the normal conditions of business
Why an Impacts Code
> To learn what is working so we can improve our effectiveness; therefore increase our impact
> Transparency leads to credibility with external stakeholders
> To show our contribution to impact
> To bring together a body of evidence showing the effectiveness of social and environmental standards systems
> businesses want to understand that they are aligning with winners - so it is a risk management factor to understand the impact of standards systems
