    New ISO Standard Focused On Sustainable Communities Reaches Final Stage 

    The future of sustainable communities just got closer as ISO/DIS 37101 moves to the final stage of development.  As mentioned in a previous post, ISO’s new standard, ISO 37101 is centered on the sustainable development of “communities”.  Click here for the news release from ISO.

     

    Following is a video from May 2014 as the process was still headed towards DIS:

     

    The standard is now fully formed and has reached the final stage known as FDIS (Final Draft International Standard).  The goals of ISO 37101 is to be a valuable contribution towards sustainability as “whole”.  The desire if for no sustainability “silos”.

     

    Here’s a snap shot of the standard’s intended objectives:

     

    -Developing holistic and integrated approaches instead of working in silos (which can hinder sustainability)

    -Fostering social and environmental changes

    -Improving health and wellbeing

    -Encouraging responsible resource use and

    -Achieving better governance

     

    The architects of this new standard believe there is a much wider audience for ISO 37101 than community planners, city managers, municipal governments or public utilities.  We’ll see how it all plays out.

    BIZPHYX CEO, Sue Clancy Speaking About ISO 14001 and Corporate Sustainability in Beijing 

    Sue recently facilitated an ISO 14001 and Sustainability workshop at the WEConnect International China Sustainable Solutions for Growth Conference in Beijing, China in October 2012.  BIZPHYX was one of the key corporate presenters at the event, along with companies like AT&T, Walmart, IBM and Boeing.  WBEs in China and around the globe are embracing ISO 14001 as a way to address their environmental goals and practices so they can better compete in global supply chains.

    In this clip, Sue talks about the misconception that small and medium sized service organizations can’t or don’t obtain ISO certifications.  The opposite is actually true and ISO standards likes ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 help provide a competitive advantage for WBEs in MNC corporate supply chains.  She teaches these China businesswomen to take the lead in doing the same by addressing their sustainability objectives through ISO 14001.
