Drive the adoption of international green standards
International standards, guided by sustainability principles, play a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis by maximizing energy efficiency, reducing e-waste, and cutting emissions. Collaboration between governments and the private sector to harmonize regulatory frameworks is essential to encourage investments aligned with climate goals.
“As the world’s leading developers of international standards, we pledge to uphold the principles that allow sustainability to be built into their development by design, and to delivering the standards that make both business and environmental sense.”
