G20, digital currencies, business travel and more...
Dear friends and colleagues - welcome to the ISO newsletter!
In this edition, we hear ISO's call to action at the recent G20 summit and find out about ISO 24165-1 for digital token identifiers.
In addition, we get a preview of the new ISO 31030 for travel risk management and learn about ISO 50005, a new standard for implementing an energy management system using a phased approach.
G20: Creating a better future
The world's leading standards bodies issued a joint declaration calling on all countries to recognize, support and adopt international standards in order to contribute directly to the three pillars of the Italian G20 presidency: People, Planet and Prosperity.
A common language for digital currencies
With the rise of decentralized cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, there is also an increased need for a common language to facilitate their safe and secure use. Digital token identifiers (DTIs) fulfil this role so long as they are the same for everyone. A new International Standard has just been developed to ensure that they are.
Better business trips
The dramatic events of the last year and a half have highlighted just how important it is to be prepared for any eventuality when travelling. A new standard provides guidance for all kinds of organizations on how to manage travel risks, including what they can do should an incident occur.
Saving energy step by step
Implementing an energy management system (EnMS) such as ISO 50001 is a powerful way for an organization to continually improve its energy efficiency. A new standard has just been published to help organizations – especially small businesses – take a phased approach and reap the most benefits at every step.
