Register for ISO International Workshop Agreement (IWA) in ESG Principles

The British Standards Institution (BSI) alongside the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), and Standards Council of Canada (SCC), are pleased to invite interested stakeholders to participate in developing an IWA for ESG Implementation Principles.

The IWA will provide a high-level international structure and core principles for implementing and embedding ESG within the culture of an organization. It will support management of ESG performance, as well as measurement and reporting under existing disclosure frameworks to enable consistency, comparability, and reliability of ESG reporting and practices globally.

The IWA can be used by all organizations in all sectors but in particular SMEs and organizations in developing countries. It will be complementary and interoperable with existing voluntary and regulatory reporting frameworks to facilitate global harmonization and alignment on ESG principles and approaches. It is not in itself a reporting framework.
