PUBLIC CONSULTATION: GPSNR’s Assurance Model

To develop and implement an assurance system that will support GPSNR in demonstrating its long-term positive impact on the natural rubber industry and help GPSNR members companies validate their sustainability claims and commitments, GPSNR is conducting a 60 day public consultation from 1 May to 30 June 2024 on the three of the four mandatory elements of its Assurance Model. This includes the Assurance Assessment Checklist, Assurance Protocol, and Remediation Protocol. The Assurance Assessment Checklist captures the themes and minimum requirements that were previously discussed during the platform’s in-person meetings in February 2024. The Members Journey Model (MJM) can be found here, the MJM has already been developed and is being put forward for vote at the upcoming Extraordinary General Assembly. The Members Journey Model outlines the development path that members are expected to take once they join GPSNR.

GPSNR Grievance Mechanism: Call for Comments

During the September 2020 General Assembly, GPSNR members voted to allow the Executive Committee to move forward with designing and implementing a Grievance Mechanism, as outlined in a revision to the statutes. The GPSNR Grievance Mechanism is a non-legal system established for stakeholders to express concerns they have about a GPSNR member or the GPSNR Secretariat and find optimal ways to resolve disputes. This Mechanism is distinct from the Grievance Mechanisms that ordinary company members are required to establish and maintain, and should be used in the event that the company’s mechanism has not successfully resolved the complaints raised.

Membership Survey

GPSNR members are invited to comment on the proposed Grievance Mechanism by providing their responses via a survey. The survey will be open until 29 January 2021, after which the results will be compiled and reviewed.

Members Webinar

There will be an informational webinar on 14 January 2021 at 8pm (Singapore time) during which the members developing the Grievance Mechanism will share more details about the mechanism and conduct a Q&A session.

GPSNR members may download materials related to the GPSNR Grievance Mechanism, take the survey and register for the webinar using the links provided in the Members Portal.
