Or if you are new to occupational health and safety management it’s a great framework to put into your business to build organizational resilience.

How ISO 45001 supports the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals

Accredited certification of ISO 45001, the international occupational health and safety management system, demonstrates an organization’s commitment to ensuring decent work conditions, health, wellbeing and equality practices. For organizations seeking to enhance their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) profile, implementation of ISO 45001 and its alignment to the SDGs sends a powerful message to shareholders and stakeholders including employees, that they truly care for their people.
