The ESG toolkit was created as a blueprint for members to apply environmental, social and governance criteria to their businesses globally. The ESG toolkit provides insights into key ESG frameworks, trends and regulatory requirements. It helps our members understand and apply ESG in a practical fashion to their business as members will eventually have to be ESG ready in what is now a mission critical business requirement. The work presented in this toolkit is the mapping of the COP against the relevant ESG frameworks and the SDGs.

The Small Business Sustainability toolkit has been created to break down industry jargon and support you in how you can tell your customers, employees and supply chain, the steps you’re taking to put people and the planet first.

The Retailer Sustainability toolkit is for the use of retailers on how to engage with their supply chain on issues surrounding sustainability. This guide provides some quick steps on actions to take, questions to ask and explanation of key topics and terms.

The Gender Equality toolkit will provide practical guidance to SMEs to assist them in their journey to incorporate gender equality at the heart of their business strategy. This toolkit is not about reinventing the wheel, but creating an informative, accessible, and easy-to-use tool for any organisation to start its journey.

In 2021, RJC joined a multi-stakeholder partnership to support the development of human rights due diligence and grievance mechanisms. Research was conducted to understand best practices in how organisations describe the actions taken by a company to identify and act on actual and potential risks to people and to the environment, within its own operations and throughout its entire supply chain.

These three public resources were created to encourage and enable organisations to integrate due diligence into their policies, operations and reporting.

RJC would like to thank fellow partners ISEAL and Bonscuro; fellow ISEAL members who participated in the research; and project financial sponsors Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO, and ISEAL Innovations Fund.
