About the Evaluation

Many people connect “sustainability” exclusively with ecology and environment protection. For others it resonates with financial management, global economic development, or the 100 World’s Most Sustainable Companies listed at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

In 2004 ISO identified Sustainability as a strategic direction — declaring that international standards should support sustainable development across three domains: economic growth, environmental integrity, and social equity.

On the organizational level, sustainability extends to talent attraction, ethical conduct, risk management, corporate citizenship, innovation, and organizational learning. It resonates with “success today and tomorrow” and “peace of mind.”
