As pressure mounts for companies to operate more sustainably, organisations are increasingly turning their attention not just inward, but across their entire value chains. To meet growing demands from stakeholders, regulators, and clients, businesses are expected to implement systems that support sustainability in a credible and verifiable way. One of the most common approaches to demonstrate this commitment is through ISO standards and certifications.
ISO certifications—issued through independent audits—are globally recognised frameworks that help organisations manage key aspects of sustainability, from environmental impact to energy efficiency and social responsibility. These certifications often serve as a prerequisite for doing business, influencing decisions around partnerships and procurement. However, navigating the wide array of ISO standards can be daunting. Organisations often struggle to understand which certifications matter, how they differ, and which are most relevant to their sector or operations.
This factsheet breaks down the key ISO standards linked to sustainability, clarifies their content and relevance, and offers practical insights for organisations seeking to adopt or leverage them as part of a credible sustainability strategy.
