ISO 37101 CERTIFICATION - SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
WHAT IS ISO 37101 - "Sustainable development in communities"?
The ISO 37101 standard aims to help communities, including cities, to implement a sustainable development strategy that takes into account the economic, social and environmental context.
Obtaining ISO 37101 certification offers a long-term development strategy, respecting the resources and needs of present and future generations.
It allows organizations representing local communities to understand their starting position towards sustainable development, highlighting the points on which it is necessary to intervene in order to bring out new strategies towards the enhancement of their organization from the point of view of sustainability.
WHO IS INTERESTED IN THESE CERTIFICATIONS?
It is undeniable that, when it comes to communities, the first thought goes to territorial public bodies such as municipalities and mountain communities. However, the definition of "Community" within the meaning of ISO 37101 is much broader, and potentially embraces an infinite number of aggregations: "group of people with an agreement in terms of responsibilities, activities and relations".
ISO 37101 certification therefore applies to communities of any size, belonging to any type of context, whether rural or urban, and for local, regional or national scales of reference.
Like all management systems, it is based on the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" cycle, so users must regularly and periodically check their objectives and strategies in order to be constantly updated, with a view to continuous improvement.
ADVANTAGES
Certification brings numerous advantages:
- improve the sustainability and resilience of strategies, programmes or plans developed under the responsibility of the communities or on the territories that concern them
- improve the local environment, creating more favourable social contexts for citizens and building a community that can better prevent and adapt to natural disasters, economic crises and climate change
- the comparison within the community and its growth with respect to sustainable development
- a holistic and long-term vision, on the basis of which to define objectives and targets related to sustainability
