What Is ESG Compliance?

ESG compliance refers to how your organization performs on Environmental, Social, and Governance factors — increasingly demanded by regulators, investors, and consumers. It’s no longer optional. ESG compliance is essential for risk management, long-term sustainability, and market trust.

ISO Standards That Enable ESG: ISO 14001 & ISO 45001

Both ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 are internationally recognized management system standards that directly support your ESG strategy.

ISO 14001: Environmental Management System (EMS)

1. Reduce your carbon footprint

2. Control energy use, emissions, and waste

3. Promote sustainable use of resources

ISO 45001: Occupational Health & Safety Management System

Governance: Both standards establish auditable, structured systems that prove accountability and compliance.
