January 22, 2019 (Pittsburgh, PA) – SRI Recognized as a JUST™ Organization
SRI Quality System Registrar is proud to announce that it is now part of the International Living Future Institute’s (ILFI) JUST™ Program. This program provides a transparent platform of disclosure, a “nutrition label”, for socially responsible organizations and corporations.
“The International Living Future Institute is pleased to announce that SRI has been recognized with the JUST Label. SRI’s pursuit of a Social Equity Disclosure Label is consistent with the organization’s long-standing support of Corporate Social Responsibility principles and practices,” says Francis Janes, Associate Director, International Living Future Institute.
SRI qualified for the JUST Label through effective internal policies in key JUST categories such as diversity, equity, safety, employee benefit, local benefit and community stewardship. In addition to exemplifying transparency, SRI continues to grow as a leader in the sustainability industry. The most recently released version of ILFI’s Living Building Challenge, LBC v3.1, requires that a JUST labeled organization must have an integral role during the design and construction phase of a project when submitting for Living Certification. 3R, as a subsidiary of SRI, can act as a sustainability consultant on any LBC project.
The JUST label is verification and a convenient, at-a-glance summary of SRI’s efforts in social justice and sustainability embodied in its working environment and culture. Jana Lake, SRI Chief Sustainability Officer highlights, “SRI is proud to advocate for and contribute to the success of equitable and just workforces. Our people are our greatest asset, and we continue to invest in their success.”
About JUST™
The International Living Future Institute’s™ JUST™ program is a voluntary disclosure program and tool for all types and sizes of organizations. The JUST™ program provides an innovative transparency platform for organizations to reveal details about their operations, including how they treat their employees and where they make financial and community investments. The JUST™ Program acts as a “nutrition label” for socially just and equitable organizations. This approach requires reporting on a range of organization and employee related indicators. Each of the indicator metrics asks for simple yet specific and measurable accountabilities in order for the organization to be recognized at a One, Two, or Three Star Level, which is then summarized elegantly on a JUST™ label. http://justorganizations.com/
