How can your organization use ISO standards to fight climate change?

With increasing recognition of the impact of climate change, financial institutions and governments around the world have introduced regulations, forcing companies to take responsibility for their environmental impact.

ISO standards such as ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 14064 give organizations frameworks to mitigate environmental risks, reduce energy usage and measure and report on greenhouse gas emissions. Certification and verification enable organizations to demonstrate progress towards sustainability goals, which can help to build trust with stakeholders and create differentiation in the marketplace.

Earlier this year, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) amended around 30 standards to ensure that organizations consider climate change within the context of their organization. This amendment affects many popular standards including ISO 14001, ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 45001 (OHS) and ISO 27001 (information security) and is designed to encourage organizations to be more aware of the risks arising from climate change and to address them across different aspects of operations.

In this webinar, our experts will cover:

• A brief overview of relevant ISO standards and ESG frameworks
• How management systems can input into your non-financial reporting
• The implications of the amendments to ISO standards for certified organizations and what it may mean for your next audit
