How ISO standards can help your business to support and achieve sustainability
The International Standards Organisation (ISO) create and publish Standards that help businesses and charities to implement best practice, sustainable practices and, if required, achieve certification to those standards.
“International Standards on environmental sustainability offer a clear and practical way to achieve operational excellence, comply with legal requirements, and meet stakeholder expectations. By embracing these ISO standards, organizations can position themselves as leaders, save money and resources, and gain trust and recognition.” www.iso.org
