SDG Management System: ISO/UNDP 53001:2026

One day to understand ISO/UNDP 53001:2026, a requirements standard on an organisation's contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals, and to decide how to integrate it into your existing system. Prioritisation of impacts, SDG targets, impact data, dialogue with interested parties and grievances: each requirement is worked on your activities, up to a gap analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Can a company be certified to ISO/UNDP 53001?

An independent certification body can audit a system that complies with this requirements standard; ISO itself certifies no one. The accreditation rules specific to this standard were still being developed at the time of writing: the course indicates what to have clarified before signing an audit contract.

Do we need to have an ISO system already?

No, but it is an advantage: the standard follows the harmonised structure, and a company certified to ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 reuses its context, internal audit and management review. What is added is the layer specific to impacts and the SDGs.

What is the difference from the CGEM CSR label?

The label assesses a CSR approach against the CGEM charter. ISO/UNDP 53001 sets management system requirements centred on contribution to the SDGs. The two can complement each other; the label is covered in "CGEM CSR Label: Preparing the Application".
