Scope
Standardization in the field of responsible business practices, corporate sustainability, ESG principles, and transparent reporting frameworks. This includes:
• Horizontal frameworks and guidance to support the management of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) horizontal principles, including disclosures and performance measurement.
• Social responsibility frameworks, to enhance accountability for the impacts of decisions and activities on society and the environment, ethical business operations, and community engagement.
Purpose
The UK is exploring the establishment of a new national mirror committee to shape and influence the development of a proposed new ISO Technical Committee on Responsible Business Practices and Sustainability Reporting. This international initiative aims to develop standards that support responsible business conduct, sustainability reporting, social responsibility, and the management of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
