The Centralised Expert Working Groups (CEWGs) are formed to carry out the tasks identified in the scope of the GSCP's work on remediation and capacity building. The CEWGS are therefore tasked with addressing significant endemic issues identified recurrently on the ground, which require the development of cross-industry guidelines.

The nature of the work of these CEWGs does not therefore differ in substance from that of the EWGs which took on the development of the GSCP Reference tools and Equivalence Process. The main difference between these 2 types of groups is their struture, with the CEWGs to involve more stakeholders, including suppliers, directly in the development of any guidelines or other output.

Here below is a list of current Centralised Expert Working Groups:
