The draft UNECE Policy Recommendation No. 49: 'Transparency at Scale' is currently open for public review.
Recommendation 49 was born out of the increasing demand for policy action that ensures the integrity of both product sustainability claims and corporate sustainability disclosures. It has also grown out of the practical challenges faced by the United Nations when providing technical assistance to support implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in textile and leather value chains. This recommendation looks at the policies needed to reach the above objectives and address the related challenges described in this document. This document recommends the implementation of digital tools such as product passports and verifiable credentials. To ensure that such implementations are interoperable, UN/CEFACT is developing a detailed suite of technical specifications called the United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP)[1].
