Preparing for the implementation of ISO and ESG in the company

Why participate?

The introduction of quality systems according to ISO standards and the implementation of ESG principles (environmental, social and governance factors) are becoming a necessity for companies that want to remain competitive, gain access to public and ESG financing, or do business with international partners.

The seminar "Preparing for the Implementation of ISO and ESG in a Company" is a practical guide to the process of implementing these systems. It will answer questions about how to effectively set up processes, how to minimize costs and risks, and how to properly communicate with stakeholders.

“ISO will give you a system. ESG will give you meaning. Connecting them will ensure trust, stability and growth for your business.”

Key questions you will get answers to:

• What ISO standards are relevant for your company and how to prepare for their implementation?

• What does ESG mean in practice and what are the obligations and voluntary commitments of companies?

• How to use existing company data when preparing ISO/ESG?

• How to manage a change in company culture when introducing new standards?

The seminar is also suitable for companies in the early stages, as well as for those considering certification or obtaining an ESG rating.
