ISO launches tool that maps International Standards to SDGs

发布于：2018-12-25

Recognizing the immense value of international standards can make, ISO recently launched a campaign to inform members, policy makers, businesses and organizations on how ISO standards can contribute to the United Nations Development Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

A dedicated section on its Website features a mapping tool that highlights more than 600 standards that contribute directly to achieving the Goals, as well as an informative brochure. It is intended to serve as a valuable resource for organizations looking to play their part.

In addition, interactive sessions were held jointly with the United Nations, represented by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) at the ISO General Assembly, held in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss how regulators, businesses and standardizers can work together to further constibute to the UN SDGs.

ISO has published more than 22 000 International Standards and related documents that provide a solid base on which innovation can thrive and are essential tools to help governments, industry and consumers to the achievement of every one of the SDGs.

The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve each Goal and target by 2030.
