SDGs & ISO standards

How ISO standards support the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals — goal by goal, alongside the standards ITS certifies.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) has identified ISO standards that contribute to each of the 17 goals. Select a goal to see what it means, the standards ISO points to, and the standards you can be certified to with ITS.

By standard — all 19 standards ITS certifies

Outlined icons are goals for which ISO names the standard directly; the others are links recommended by ITS.

ISO/UNDP 53001 is the management system standard that checks whether an organisation identifies and manages the impact of its activities on all 17 goals. Gender equality (5), decent work (8) and climate action (13) must be addressed regardless of sector.
