Sustainable development

How ISO's technical programme and standards contribute to a sustainable world
International Standards contribute to the three dimensions of sustainable development : economic, environmental and social. They :
– Support the facilitation of global trade, the dissemination of new technologies,
   good business practice and the relations between economic actors.
– Support good environmental practice and information, energy efficiency and the
   dissemination of new, eco-friendly and energy performance technologies.
– Contribute to consumer protection, safety at work, healthcare, security and other
   social interests which may require technical or management standards for the
   related products and services.
