GSCP Advisory Board

The Advisory Board is composed of influential and knowledgeable experts drawn from a broad and balanced variety of civil society international stakeholders such as NGOs, IOs, Trade Unions, Academics, SRIs etc. Members are selected for their expertise, knowledge and specific interest in issues linked to labour and environmental conditions in the global supply chain. Each member of the Advisory Board contributes to the Programme within her or his respective field of competence.

The Advisory Board’s role is to advise and challenge the Executive Board on the strategy, direction and best practice for each step of the Programme. Moreover, it helps monitor and evaluate progress.
The Advisory Board therefore ensures that opinions and perspectives of civil society stakeholders are integrated into the pursuit of the Programme’s objectives.

Membership of the Advisory Board does not signify endorsement of the Programme. However Advisory Board members are expected to support the Programme’s objectives within their field of activity and expertise.
