The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) philosophy revolves around three fundamental principles that ensure quality, consistency, and reliability in processes and products. Here's a brief explanation of each principle: 1️⃣ 𝐒𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐨: 📝 🌟𝑫𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 & 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒛𝒆: Clearly define and document all processes, procedures, and policies. 🌟𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚: Ensure all steps and expectations are accessible and understandable to everyone. 🌟𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈: Establish clear objectives and detailed plans to achieve them. 2️⃣ 𝐃𝐨 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐚𝐲: ⚙️ 🌟𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: Follow the documented procedures accurately. 🌟𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚: Maintain a reliable approach and regularly train stakeholders. 🌟𝑨𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚: Hold everyone responsible for adhering to standards. 3️⃣ 𝐁𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐭: ✅ 🌟𝑬𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 & 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔: Keep accurate records and documentation of all actions. 🌟𝑨𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒕 & 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘: Conduct regular audits to ensure compliance. 🌟𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕: Use data to identify areas for improvement and implement corrective actions. By adhering to the ISO philosophy of "𝑺𝒂𝒚 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑫𝒐, 𝑫𝒐 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑺𝒂𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒆 𝑨𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑰𝒕." organizations can ensure a high standard of quality, reliability, and transparency in their operations. This approach helps ensure high quality, build customer trust, improve operational efficiency, and manage risks effectively. #ISO #QualityAssurance #ContinuousImprovement #OperationalExcellence

J’ai le plaisir de vous annoncer que j’ai obtenu une nouvelle certification : CSRD Fundamentals de CSRD Institute ! The European Union sustainability reporting landscape has seen a transformational change with the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive CSRD as part of the EU legislation. Aimed at enhancing the scope and quality of corporate sustainability reporting, it helps in increasing the transparency on organizational impacts, builds trust, and provide decision useful information to relevant stakeholders such as investors, government, customers, communities & NGOs. Compared to its predecessor the Non-Financial Reporting Directive NFRD), theC SRD has a broader scope applying not only to the EU companies but also to the non-EU companies which has significant operations within the EU. #CSRD #ESRS #EU #SustainabilityReporting #SustainabilityReportingLandscape #Impact #DoubleMateriality #NonFinancialDisclosure

12 months delay of the EUDR application approved by the EU Parliament Today, the European Parliament voted on the European Commission’s proposal regarding the European Union Deforestation Regulation (#EUDR), leading to a 12-month delay in its application. A large portion of MEPs abstained from voting, and the proposal was approved by only a narrow majority, with votes in favour just exceeding those against. This narrow margin highlights the nuanced views on EUDR across Parliament. This postponement provides additional time for stakeholders to adapt, but it also signals the ongoing debate around the environmental issues. #EUDR #Sustainability

UNRISD is pleased to see the increasing recognition of the Sustainable Development Performance Indicators (SDPI). I made some research: when and what was written in the context of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)? 🌍📊. The SDPI platform is cited as a valuable resource, especially for setting local ecological thresholds for sustainability targets. For example, this draft E2 Pollution from Nov 22: "When determining (local) ecological thresholds to set targets, the undertaking may refer to the guidance provided by TNFD on the use of the methods by the Science-Based Targets Initiative for Nature (SBTN), the relevant work outlined in the Sustainable Development Performance Indicator (SDPI) online platform, or any other guidance with a scientifically acknowledged methodology that allows setting of science-based targets by identifying ecological thresholds and, if applicable, entity-specific allocations." 📘📐 Source: https://lnkd.in/eR2FKxSJ The SDPI support science-based indicators, authentic transparency and context based sustainability reporting. 🌱. Curious about where and how SDPI is also mentioned?

It was my privilege to participate at the first #PEFC Forest Forum 2024 organised at #Paris from 13-16 May 2024 coinciding with PEFC's 25th Anniversary. At the event discussions centred around strengthening PEFC’s SFM certification standard and data strategy, demonstrating impact of #SFM on ecosystem services, and Carbon Project, apart from responses/alignment to #EUDR and integrating EUDR into national and regional systems. It was very heartening to learn that the roof structure of #Notre -Dame de Paris cathedral, a symbol of French heritage, destroyed in fire in April 2019, has been rebuilt in solid oak and has received PEFC Project Certification. Interestingly the roof is also known as “The Forest” and its restoration in PEFC Certified Wood is a testament to stakeholder commitment to SFM and an environmentally, socially and economically responsible timber construction. Icing on the cake was the “Market Place” at which several NGBs and ISMs shared innovative efforts and experiences in their journey towards SFM. Among others, I was impressed by the “impact assessment project” of PEFC Finland to examine the direct effects of PEFC certification of Finnish Forests” and feel the need for focused studies to understand the real impact of forest certification on ‘Forests”, “local people” and “forest governance”. The pioneering efforts of #NCCF, the PEFC NGB in India towards certification of #ToF (trees outside forests) presented by DG NCCF were greatly appreciated.  NCCF ToF standard has already been endorsed by PEFC and has become operational. Till now, PEFC has endorsed thee such standards i.e. India, Netherlands, and Portugal, and that of UK is in the pipeline.  TOF Certification Standard has great significance in India since around 85% of Industrial Round Wood originates from ToF areas.  A panel discussion on Regulations and Beyond: Delivering Impact on Ground - brought outside perspective from #EC (European Commission), #ITTO (International Tropical Timber Organization), #CEPF (Confederation of European Forest Owners) #ATIBT, and #FE (Forest Europe) #climate-resilience #sustainability #PEFC25years
