Sustainability & Environment
The Sustainability and Environment sector focuses on implementing standards that promote environmental responsibility and sustainable practices. It ensures that businesses and organisations minimize their environmental impact while supporting long-term economic and social well-being.
This sector covers areas such as carbon footprint reduction, resource efficiency, and environmental management systems. By setting clear guidelines and accreditation requirements, it helps drive global efforts toward sustainability and a healthier planet.
