SSC social working group minutes 10th August 2016

Summary of agreed points
Item 1: Scope
• The scope of social commitments should cover the entire supply chain.
• The addition of social criteria will only apply to the sourcing code. Voluntary claims, as defined in the labelling code, will not change. However, once the sourcing code includes social criteria and is implemented by all members, responsibility claims will cover both social and environmental actions.
