As a part of our mission to share learning about the effectiveness and impact of multi-stakeholder and other voluntary initiatives, MSI Integrity is committed to actively participating in opportunities for shared learning. This includes providing public comments on specific MSIs undergoing public review, through to relevant conferences, workshops, and events. This page includes a list of the wider shared learning activities MSI Integrity has contributed to in since January 2015.
Please note this list does not include any direct discussions or meetings with stakeholders, MSIs or members. We are happy to share details about what we discussed or presented at any of these events, and encourage you to contact us directly to learn more.
