Practitioners
You use these terms in reporting, strategy, assurance or supply chains—and can tell us whether a definition works in real decisions.
Collaborate with us
Help make sustainability language clearer, more useful and better grounded in practice, evidence and regulation.
What the Collaborative is
The Sustainability Language Collaborative is a practical editorial community. It brings together people who use, research, regulate and explain sustainability terms so the site can show where meanings align, where they differ and what context is needed.
You can make one contribution or get involved over time. Editors remain responsible for deciding what is published.
Who collaborates
Researchers
You can connect a term to evidence, disciplinary debates or a useful source that gives it stronger grounding.
Standards and policy specialists
You understand how a term changes across regulations, reporting standards and guidance—and can add that needed context.
Editors and communicators
You can help make complex language plain, precise and accessible without losing important nuance.
Reviewers
You can test a definition for accuracy, fairness and usefulness, whether you contribute once or return over time.
Institutions and networks
You represent an organisation, research group or professional network that would like to contribute expertise or develop terms together.
