ISO37000 establishes the mantra that good governance allows an organisation to create the conditions that fulfil the governing body’s mission and purpose over time including value generation.

ISO37000 sets out that an enterprise may be contributing to sustainable development when it generates added value in its outputs that meet present stakeholder needs, without compromising future generations.

By creating the governance strategy to align with sustainable development and output, the governing body should help the conditions for adequate sustainable development.

If the leadership team promotes and fosters a sound governance strategy that is cognisant of its sustainability obligations, then sustainable development should follow as a result.

Careful monitoring and measuring programmes will require deployment and stakeholder assessments for achievement of these obligations should be sought.

The governing body may wish to refer to ISO 26000 Guidance on social responsibility and ISO 20400 / A sustainable procurement management system.
