Unlocking RSB Certification - Brief

2:30pm – 4:00pm CET | Thursday 18th November 2021

This session will be an informative and interactive introduction to members, operators,
partners and other stakeholders on how to get the best use out of RSB’s current set of tools,
plus engage with the audience on what tools they would like to see in the future. This
session will give attendees the opportunity to:

 Learn more about the practical tools & solutions offered by the RSB;
 Explore examples and case studies where these tools are being used to mitigate
sustainability risks and address sustainability in supply chains;
 Develop knowledge to help apply the RSB tools the context of their own company
and supply chain.

Tools that this session will cover include the RSB Risk Assessment Tool, the RSB Screening
Tool and the RSB Greenhouse Gas Tool.
The session will be an e-learning opportunity for members and other stakeholders in how to
effectively use all that the RSB has to offer. We will do this by splitting the session into four
parts with each part focusing on a different tool and with a different style of learning to keep
the session engaging.
