ILO C29 / C105
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDForced Labour Conventions
ILO Conventions 29 (1930) and 105 (1957) eliminate all forms of forced or compulsory labour. Construction is a high-risk sector — particularly for migrant workers, bonded labour, and debt bondage. All 187 ILO member states have ratified C29 (near-universal). Funder ESF requirements specifically require signed evidence of freely-contracted labour.
ILO C167 (1988)
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDSafety and Health in Construction Convention
ILO Convention 167 sets minimum safety and health requirements for all temporary and permanent construction sites: site preparation, machinery, PPE, fall prevention, excavation, scaffolding, and accident reporting. Ratified by 35 member states; referenced as the baseline by development banks (World Bank, AfDB, ADB) in project compliance requirements.
IFC Performance Standard 2
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDLabor and Working Conditions
IFC PS2 (revised 2012) applies to all IFC-financed projects. Requires: signed employment agreements, wage records, grievance mechanisms, non-discrimination policies, and OHS management systems. Subcontractor compliance is the primary client's responsibility. Violation can trigger suspension of disbursements and mandatory remediation.
UNCAC (UN General Assembly A/58/422)
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDUN Convention Against Corruption
UN Convention Against Corruption (2003) — ratified by 190 states. Requires transparent public procurement, auditable project records, beneficial ownership disclosure, and anti-bribery controls for all public works. Development banks (World Bank, IMF, AfDB) use UNCAC compliance as a precondition for infrastructure lending. Sanctions for proven diversion of project funds include blacklisting from future lending.

Directly linked to anti-exploitation requirements in development bank environmental and social frameworks.
ISO 14040:2006
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDEnvironmental Management — Life Cycle Assessment — Principles and Framework
ISO 14040:2006 describes the principles and framework for life cycle assessment (LCA): definition of the goal and scope, the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) phase, the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase, the life cycle interpretation phase, reporting and critical review, limitations, the relationship between the LCA phases, and conditions for use of value choices and optional elements. It covers LCA and LCI studies. It does NOT describe the LCA technique in detail and does NOT specify methodologies for the individual phases — a study claiming a method on 14040's authority is claiming something 14040 declines to give. Edition 2, published 2006-07, 20 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 5, ICS 13.020.10 / 13.020.60. Stage 90.93 — confirmed on review in 2022, so this version remains current. One amendment: ISO 14040:2006/Amd 1:2020.
ISO 14044:2006
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDEnvironmental Management — Life Cycle Assessment — Requirements and Guidelines
ISO 14044:2006 specifies requirements and provides guidelines for life cycle assessment: definition of goal and scope, the life cycle inventory analysis (LCI) phase, the life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) phase, the life cycle interpretation phase, reporting and critical review, limitations, the relationship between the LCA phases, and conditions for use of value choices and optional elements. It covers LCA and LCI studies. This is the requirements half of the pair — 14040 states the framework, 14044 states what a study must actually do to conform. Edition 1, published 2006-07, 46 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 5, ICS 13.020.10 / 13.020.60. Stage 90.93 — confirmed on review in 2022, so this version remains current.

IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDGreenhouse Gases — Carbon Footprint of Products — Requirements and Guidelines for Quantification
ISO 14067:2018 specifies principles, requirements and guidelines for quantifying and reporting the carbon footprint of a product (CFP), consistent with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044. Requirements for a PARTIAL CFP are also specified. It addresses only a single impact category: climate change. Carbon offsetting and the communication of CFP information are explicitly OUTSIDE its scope — a standard that quantifies a number is not a standard that licenses a label built on it. It assesses no social or economic aspect and no other environmental impact. Edition 1, published 2018-08, 46 pages, ISO/TC 207/SC 7, ICS 13.020.40. Supersedes the withdrawn ISO/TS 14067:2013.
LEED v4.1 (USGBC)
IN EFFECTNOT SCOREDLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design
USGBC LEED v4.1 is the world's most widely adopted green building rating system, active in 185 countries. Certification requires documented evidence across: site selection and ecology, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere (including on-site renewables), materials and resources (recycled content, regional materials, construction waste diversion), indoor environmental quality, and innovation credits. LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) specifically covers community-scale projects — food markets, mixed-use centres, public plazas, and community energy installations. Increasingly required as a condition of funding by World Bank, IFC, USAID, EU structural funds, and green bond issuers for any new public building.
