What are Charter Sustainability Procedures (CSPs)

The Charter itself consists of a set of Charter Sustainability Procedures (CSPs) which companies implement in their management systems. Companies participating in the Charter agree to be independently verified for the Charter entrance check. Once the criteria are met, they are entitled to use the Charter logo.

By implementing the CSPs in their management systems, the companies will contribute over time to overall improvements in the KPIs. This means society will see the benefit of

  • better control of chemicals usage;
  • better consumer and customer safety information;
  • savings in energy, water, waste, packaging;
  • and an improved social and economic environment.



The Charter also provides for a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on which companies report their annual progress to the A.I.S.E.. Each year, the A.I.S.E. will produce an annual sustainability report for the whole European soaps, detergents and maintenance industry based on companies' input.
