The International Living Future Institute (ILFI) released an upgraded version of its JUST program, JUST 2.0, in 2019.
ILFI’s JUST program provides a platform for organizations to measure their progress on a range of indicators about sustainability and other goals including social justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. ILFI is no longer accepting submissions under JUST 1.0.
Existing JUST organizations with expiration dates in 2020 and beyond will renew to the JUST 2.0 standard. ILFI describes JUST as a “nutrition” transparency label and voluntary disclosure tool for socially just and equitable organizations. “JUST is not a certification program, it is a transparency platform for organizations to disclose their operations, including how they treat their employees and where they make financial and community investments,” ILFI says.
Organizations can use the label on their website or marketing materials to demonstrate their commitments to these issues. ILFI posts detailed information from organizations in the publicly viewable JUST database.
