ISO Standards Do Good: A New Perspective on Sustainable Development Goals

Tzvetelin Gueorguiev, Irina Kostadinova

2021

Abstract

The paper presents a new perspective to looking at ISO standards. Standards are usually considered as best practices or state-of-the-art industrial norms. For some, they are a source of vital information, and for others- standards are inhibitors for human creativity and innovation. Regardless of personal opinions and preferences, the greater good should unite humankind in pursuit of sustainability. In 2015, the United Nations (UN) adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In 2018, ISO engaged with its contribution to the UN SDGs. This paper focuses on the relationship between SDGs and some of the most popular ISO standards for management systems.
