Home / Membership / Benefits of Membership
Sustainability is a journey of continuous improvement. RJC membership gives you the opportunity to accelerate yours. What differentiates us is that we have one solution for businesses, big or small, to integrate sustainability in its operations. Our standards cover Human Rights, Labour Rights, Health and Safety, Product integrity and many other key topics. It’s critical that companies do not view any of these key issues in isolation. The Code of Practices supports members to be prepared in an evolving regulatory landscape.
The Code of Practices 2019 is aligned with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and the UN Guiding Principles of Business and Human Rights. Through the implementation of the Code of Practices, members contribute towards the United Nations 2030 agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Over the next 15 years, like it or not, sustainability will become as big and disruptive in every sector as digital technologies have become over the past 15.
