Helping organisations improve their governance in accordance to ISO 37000.

Help your organization develop purpose

ISO 37000 is an international standard for the governance of organizations and reflects international agreement that the guidance provided throughout the standard comprises good governance.

The ISO 37000 standard is relevant for all organizations who want their governing body to demonstrate good governance, and is relevant to a single person in charge of governance, or a large organisation. ISO 37000 is the consensus view on what ethical and effective organizational governance incorporates.

 

 

Understand the expectations of your stakeholders

This governing body is the custodian of the organization's ethical and effective governance. Organizations who use the guidance are more successful because they have learned how to create a culture of trust, inclusion, transparency and fairness by applying the principles of ISO 37000. The principles will help you set out a process which holds management and senior leaders to account.

Make decisions which are risk-based

ISO 37000 provides the principles which will help you to effectively oversee the organization's risk. Key areas are:

  • credible information and reliable data
  • stakeholders’ expectations
  • compliance obligations
  • ethical and societal expectations, including those anticipated for future generations
  • impacts, and reliance, on the natural environment.
