We are pleased to announce that WQA/ASPE/ANSI S-801-2015 (R2021): Sustainable Management was approved as an American National Standard on February 25, 2021 by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
WQA/ASPE/ANSI S-801 can be used to evaluate a company’s sustainability-related governance and management practices at the corporate and production facility level. It focuses on the following core attributes:
- Corporate social responsibility and healthy, safe working conditions
- Organizational sustainability (e.g., policies, communications, transparency/reporting, environmental monitoring, and improvement)
- Sustainable supply chains
WQA/ASPE/ANSI S-801 is a prerequisite for certification to two WQA sustainability-related product standards, WQA/ASPE/ANSI S-802: Sustainable Water Treatment Media and WQA/ASPE/ANSI S-803: Sustainable Drinking Water Treatment Systems, both of which were last revised in 2017. Companies and facilities cannot be certified to S-801, but companies whose facilities conform to the requirements of S-801 are eligible to have their products evaluated for certification to S-802 and S-803.
A digital download of WQA/ASPE/ANSI S-801-2015 (R2021) can be purchased from ASPE’s Bookstore.
