RSB’s Book & Claim Platform is open to RSB members, who are invited to join the platform as part of the many benefits of RSB membership.
Why a platform?
Book and claim is a market mechanism that provides a solution to the complexity of buyers demanding sustainable products that are not always accessible in their existing supply chains. However, ensuring full traceability and no risk of double counting is absolutely vital to maintain credibility and trust in this process.
In order to facilitate the understanding and development of a book and claim system that reaches its full potential, RSB has therefore responded to increasing interest in its work around book and claim. The RSB Book & Claim Platform will navigate book and claim issues across sectors, develop system know-how, and share lessons learned in a feedback loop.
Activities
The RSB Book & Claim Platform explores subjects in the following categories:
- Validate and explore new book and claim use cases
- Stakeholder consultations on new iterations of the RSB Book & Claim Manual and RSB Book & Claim Registry
- Registry Recognition & Interoperability
- Governance & Auditing
RSB Approach
RSB’s multi-stakeholder membership community is here to support organisations — including industry, civil society, academia and government — to create a just and sustainable transition towards a net-zero carbon, circular and bio-based economy by:
- Developing new knowledge and solutions
