ISO and climate change: why are many of the familiar ISO management system standards being amended, and what does this mean for standards users?

December 20, 2023 • LRQA

The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), is amending many of the familiar management system standards to insert an additional requirement and a note related to climate change.

In this episode, we are joined by the Chair of the ISO Technical Committee 283 for Occupational Health & Safety Management (owner of the ISO 45000 series of standards), and a returning guest of the podcast, Martin Cottam, to discuss the actions ISO is taking in relation to climate change and how these changes impact standard users.
