The IISB26 Audit Framework is paired with the Certified Sustainable Supply Chain Auditor (CSSCA) program. The CSSCA will provide the highest training on sustainability auditing practices and detailed guidance on IISB26 Standards. These tools and certifications will enable professional auditors, consultants and practitioners to conduct audits and report on the maturity of an organization's sustainability initiatives.

​

IISB26 is grounded in four distinct pillars to maintain stringent practices and set a global standard above the current expectations in the global market. The four pillars of IISB26 communicate the basis of the Sustainability Audit Framework. The pillars will guide auditors to apply universally recognized audit rules and practices, in combination with their professional judgement.

​

The four pillars of IISB26:

​

(1) Protecting People, Community, and Planet

(2) Promoting Sustainable Practice

(3) Developing Safeguards for the Future, and

(4) Authentication of Sustainable Reporting.
