Standards, schemes, ratings and templates
The labels matter because they create different jobs. A certification is audited. A due diligence programme defines a process. A template is returned to a customer. A rating gives you a score.
Audited against defined requirements.
Examples: CMSI, IRMA, Copper Mark, TSM, ICMM, Responsible Gold Mining Principles, ResponsibleSteel, ASI, RJC, GISTM, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
Processes for checking the chain.
Examples: OECD Due Diligence Guidance, RMI RMAP, LBMA and LME requirements.
Files you complete and return.
Examples: CMRT, EMRT, AMRT and LMEpassport.
External assessments that produce a score.
Examples: EcoVadis, CDP and S&P Global CSA.
Requirements that shape what you publish or report.
Examples include GBA and Battery Passport work, UNGC, GRI, ISSB, TCFD, TNFD, CBAM, EU Battery Regulation, conflict minerals rules, LkSG, California SB 253 and SB 261, and the UK Modern Slavery Act.
Keep the evidence separate from the format.
Evidence lives in the Twin. Insight checks it against the requirement. Answer returns the required output. That means the same source can be reused across several standards, schemes and templates where the requirements overlap.

Bring the standard or template you are working on.
We will show you how it maps to your current evidence and where the gaps sit.
