Paragraph text
Multi-stakeholder initiatives should map all relevant stakeholders for each specific standard, taking trade unions into special account, and ensure they are actively involved in the determination of criteria and indicators in the standard-setting process and subsequent revisions. They should also ensure that gender considerations are embedded in the standard when specific vulnerabilities based on gender are identified within the industry or workplace affected by the standard. Multi-stakeholder initiatives should consider establishing a capacity-building programme adapted to each audience to equip stakeholders to participate in the standard-setting and standard-revision processes.
