New internal and external pressures transform operational performance parameters

The Decade of Action, as designated by the United Nations, is driving increased expectations around sustainability, operational performance and risk management.

Consumer and investor interest in ESG credentials continues to grow, which means product and service claims must feature greater transparency and integrity.

New internal and external pressures are creating a need for independently verified performance via assurance, certification and attestation. Taking a holistic approach means organizations can align with global best practices, standards and regulations.

Certified management systems can help to foster a culture of continuous improvement, with organizations regularly reviewing and optimizing processes to drive stronger ESG performance, material change and competitive advantage.
