Description

Description The RSB offers trusted, credible tools and solutions for sustainability & biomaterials certification that mitigate business risk, fuel the bioeconomy and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals in order to enable the protection of ecosystems and the promotion of food security.
Objectives Provide and promote the most credible, trusted and effective sustainability standard and support for socially, environmentally and economically sustainable production of advanced and bio-based fuels and materials.

Provide a global platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue and consensus building. Ensure that users and producers have access to credible, practical and affordable certification. Support continuous improvement through application of the standard.

Activities RSB provides a sustainability standard and focuses its activities on:

- implementation of the RSB Standard via certification, policy advocacy and advisory services - consensus building among its multi-stakeholder community - continuous development and improvement of the RSB Standard to reflect the latest innovation, developments and needs of the global bioeconomy - development of projects with key partners to advance sustainability in the bioeconomy in specific regions or industries

One or two success stories achieved Boeing to collaborate with RSB to further grow a sustainable aviation industry in Brazil: https://rsb.org/2019/06/19/boeing-to-collaborate-with-rsb-wwf-to-further-grow-a-sustainable-aviation-industry-in-brazil/

RSB is developing a first-of-its-kind biofuels book and claim system for Maersk: https://rsb.org/2019/07/09/rsb-to-develop-first-of-its-kind-biofuels-book-and-claim-system-for-maersk/
