The Working Group on Implementation (IMP WG)

1. Introduction

The Working Group on Implementation (IMP WG) reviews the recommendations of the other working groups (GHG, Enviromental Impacts, and Social Impacts) to ensure that any draft standards are easy to implement and measure so that they are accessible by small-scale and other low-income farmers and all sizes of companies. We also make recommendations on future steps for the Roundtable, such as the potential value of independent third party certification. We work via a combination of teleconferences, online discussions, and regional meetings.

An important component of our work will be through pilot testing of draft standards. Over the next few months, we will draft a pilot testing framework for companies and NGOs so that we can share information and make recommendations for changes to Version Zero based on the implementability of certain criteria.
