Our mission
- Add value to users in a busy, crowded and fragmented space
- Bridge the gap between broad principles applied by regulators and the detail of how these are to be implemented in the real economy
- Increase interoperability between different financial actors by providing consistent language and terminology
- Provide standards that enable independent, trusted and transparent verification
- Connect with other key organizations and with other ISO technical experts
Main activities
Our work programme provides:
- Principles and frameworks to guide the operations of financial institutions, and to give a structure and context around standards developed by ISO and the wide range of other industry bodies who are involved in such activities.
- Technical standards that contribute to sustainable finance impact requirements and disclosure requirements for major financial products.
This work is designed to fill gaps and contribute to the production of consistent methodologies as standardization matures across the field of sustainable finance.
This committee has 27 Participating and 18 Observer member bodies, and in addition there are 11 external liaison organizations and 23 internal liaisons with other ISO technical committees.
If you are interested in getting involved - whether in the detailed work or just in our public consultations - we have outlined some essentials, or you can reach out to our Committee Manager, Mike Henigan, at [email protected].
