We thank all stakeholders who contributed feedback and insights during the public consultation phase. This input is helping shape a global benchmark for credible, transparent, and high-integrity transition planning across the financial sector.
Why it matters now
The financial sector plays a decisive role in achieving global climate goals. As transition planning becomes a fundamental requirement, financial institutions need clear and consistent frameworks to align their financing decisions with net-zero pathways.
ISO 32212 responds to this need, providing a globally consistent approach to credible transition planning, developed through broad international collaboration and building on existing initiatives such as OECD, GFANZ, NZIF and IFRS/TPT.
About the standard
The forthcoming ISO 32212 standard will:
- Establish core principles and requirements for credible transition planning processes
- Strengthen governance, systems and controls that underpin transition planning
-
Support independent assurance through ISO’s global conformity-assessment ecosystem
-
Apply to financial institutions of all types and sizes, across jurisdictions
-
Complement global frameworks by focusing on real-economy impact, helping finance move beyond disclosure to deliver transformation through capital allocation and engagement
What happens next
Feedback from the UK and international consultations is now being reviewed by the ISO Sustainable Finance Committee (ISO/TC 322). This input will inform the final draft of the standard, expected for publication in Q2 2026, subject to the FDIS approval.
