Standard revision working groups
Our Working Groups provide a forum for ResponsibleSteel members to discuss and share expertise that informs the revision. Find out how you can get involved in the working groups below, and if you're not yet a member, learn how you can become a member today.
Minutes and presentations from these Working Groups are publicly available on our Resources Page under Standards Development.
This working group was formed to discuss revisions related to transition plans, including emissions reduction target setting and related disclosures. The working group aims to provide clarity and cohesion between Principle 10 criterions 10.1, 10.2, 10.5, and 10.7, and forge links between site-level planning and corporate-level planning. In addition, the working group will discuss how the Production Standard can reference any relevant frameworks to support increased interoperability between global frameworks.
Following the completion of the transition plans topic, this working group will continue to work on Principle 10 related topics, such as harmonisation of 10.3 & 10.4 around the calculation of site-level GHG emissions and sites in transition.
Please contact our Standards team for more information.
This working group aims to assess whether and how the Production Standard should be revised based on the results of the recently completed ISEAL Innovation Fund Just Transition Project. The Working Group will provide recommendations on how the ResponsibleSteel Secretariat should take this topic forward.
Please contact our Standards team for more information.
Now closed, this working group aimed to review and address the implementation challenges related to the current Minimum Annual Leave Requirement (6.9.1 d). The working group discussed and proposed potential solutions that accommodate regional challenges while maintaining the integrity and rigour of the ResponsibleSteel International Production Standard V2.1.1. The working group's feedback was discussed by the Technical Advisory Group, and prospective changes were drafted. Given the significance of the proposed changes and their potential implications, this topic will be subject to public consultation as part of the ongoing standard revision.
