FLOCERT GmbH is inviting applications for the next term of its Impartiality Committee.
Description
The Impartiality Committee is an integral part of FLOCERT’s governance framework. It plays a critical role in safeguarding the impartiality, integrity, independence and credibility of FLOCERT’s assurance activities by providing independent oversight, challenge and guidance on matters related to impartiality and conflicts of interest.
As FLOCERT continues to operate in an increasingly complex regulatory and stakeholder environment, the role of the Impartiality Committee is essential. It is a core element of FLOCERT’s accredited assurance system and is indispensable to ensuring that impartiality is not only formally maintained, but actively lived across decision-making, structures and practices.
The effective functioning of an impartiality mechanism is critical to the quality and credibility of FLOCERT as an independent certifier. Therefore, while membership in the Impartiality Committee is an honorary role, it requires a high level of commitment and reliability, and the same seriousness and diligence as any key governance position, whilst offering experienced professionals the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the robustness and trustworthiness of a global certification system at the heart of the Fairtrade movement.
Fairtrade System Representative (m/f/div) Producer OR Trader Interests for Impartiality Committee
- Assignment Scope: periodic basis, to be defined by Impartiality Committee
- Remuneration: based on expenses / honorary role
Responsibilities and Composition
The Impartiality Committee safeguards the independence, impartiality and non-discrimination of all assurance activities conducted by FLOCERT GmbH within the accredited Fairtrade Assurance system.
It provides independent oversight and challenge by identifying and addressing risks to impartiality and by advising on measures to strengthen transparency, credibility and stakeholder trust. Where necessary, the Committee may establish working groups on specific topics.
If risks or violations of impartiality are identified, the Committee is entitled to formally address the FLOCERT Management and request appropriate corrective or preventive action. The Committee operates independently from operational management.
Commitment and Way of Working
Membership in the Impartiality Committee is an honorary role that requires a high level of professional commitment, reliability and independence.
Members are expected to actively contribute to the Committee’s work, including the review of individual cases, risk assessments and supporting documentation, and to prepare thoroughly for meetings and decision-making processes.
Regular participation in scheduled meetings, timely responsiveness between meetings and the ability to work with detailed and sometimes sensitive information are essential.
The effective functioning of the Impartiality Committee is critical to maintaining trust, credibility and accreditation. The role therefore requires consistent engagement and is not compatible with irregular or ad-hoc involvement.
Qualifications and Requirements
Members of the Impartiality Committee are expected to bring seniority, professional credibility and relevant expertise that strengthen the independence and legitimacy of FLOCERT GmbH’s assurance system.
Required qualifications include:
- Proven senior-level professional experience within the Fairtrade system, in particular as a Producer or Trader, ideally with prior experience in an impartiality, ethics, oversight or advisory body
- Recognised subject-matter expertise in either
– Fairtrade Producer issues (e.g. representative of a Fairtrade-certified producer organisation), or
– Fairtrade Trader issues (e.g. representative of a Fairtrade-certified trader organisation). - Strong understanding of impartial assurance principles, including the ability to assess evidence objectively and to act independently of organisational, commercial or representative interests
- Solid knowledge of the Fairtrade system and/or comparable voluntary sustainability and verification schemes
- Ability to engage in constructive, critical discussion, contribute to consensus-building and work effectively in a largely virtual, self-organised setting
- High awareness of confidentiality and data protection requirements
- Fluency in written and spoken English
- Availability for regular meetings and ad-hoc consultations, primarily held virtually and within European time zones
