Standards are a vehicle for harmonization that can stimulate countries in all areas of development by empowering them to act together rather than in isolation, to better position themselves in the global marketplace and to seize new opportunities.

STANDARDS HELP ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The Sustainable Development Goals are an ambitious plan of action to promote peace and prosperity, and to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. The Goals have been recognised around the world as essential to ensuring a sustainable future for all.
