Raising the Bar. What ISSA (UK) 5000 Means for Companies and Investors
The UK’s new ISSA (UK) 5000 standard marks a major step toward credible and consistent sustainability assurance. It strengthens trust in ESG disclosures, raises expectations for data quality and governance, and signals a future where assured sustainability information becomes a core requirement for companies, investors and regulators across the UK market.
“While directly serving their customers, companies should indirectly serve the interests of society by taking responsibility for the holistic impact of their activities. Its simply a more broad view of value creation. This is what ESG is all about.”
